The 2026 Valero Texas Open begins on Thursday, April 2, with the opening round at TPC San Antonio’s Oaks Course in Texas. You can find the full Valero Texas Open tee times for Thursday’s first round at the bottom of this post.
Included tee times for round 1
Legendary veteran Rickie Fowler has only one thing on his mind heading into the Valero Texas Open: winning.
Besides sealing the restart for the 2026 season, a win this week would accomplish two important things for Fowler.
First, it would break a nearly three-year drought and give Fowler seven PGA Tour victories. But perhaps more importantly, it will earn him a spot in next week’s Masters, where he will make his first start since 2024.
But the same is true of most of the field at the Valero Texas Open, so Fowler won’t be the only one hoping to translate a Texas Open victory into tee times at Augusta National.
Fowler will advance to Round 1 on Thursday at 9:06 am ET with playing partners Tommy Fleetwood and Hideki Matsuyama.
You can watch Thursday’s first round of the 2026 Valero Texas Open from 4-7 pm ET on Golf Channel. PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will offer exclusive early coverage beginning Thursday at 8:15 a.m. ET in addition to the featured team coverage.
