TPC San Antonio

TPC San Antonio opened in January 2010 with two 18-hole championship golf courses designed by two of golf’s most innovative architects: Pete Dye and Greg Norman.

Both courses have played host to TOUR events with The Oaks course serving as the venue for the PGA TOUR’s Valero Texas Open since 2010. The Canyons course was the site of the San Antonio Championship, a PGA TOUR Champions event.

Historic Tournaments

Now we previously mentioned that they host the Valero Texas Open, so let’s take a look at some of those historic tournaments.

Many big-name players have won this tournament, including Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, and Arnold Palmer, who won it three years in a row. It has always been considered a tournament where it is relatively easy to shoot low scores. Since 1934, every tournament winner has finished with a score under-par.

It has always been played in the San Antonio area and is the sixth oldest professional golf tournament worldwide, the third oldest on the PGA Tour and the longest held in the same city. The tournament has been hosted on eight different golf courses.

The tournament has become the annual leader in charitable fundraising among PGA Tour events. In 2015, the Valero Texas Open became only the fourth PGA Tour event to eclipse the $100 million milestones in funds raised for charity. The 2021 Valero Texas Open raised a record-breaking $16 million for charity, bringing the grand total to over $187 million in charitable giving.

Besides these facts about the tournament, the most recent tournament at TPC San Antonio saw the return of Jordan Spieth to stardom. After a long wait, he finally won on the PGA Tour again with this victory at TPC San Antonio. It may go down in history as the tournament that brought back the Jordan Spieth of old, but only time will tell to see that verdict.
