While many of the world’s best players are at home preparing for the year’s first major, there are some big names in the field at TPC San Antonio’s Oaks Course for the Valero Texas Open looking to earn their way into the Masters.
It’s only fitting we start with Rickie Fowler, who hasn’t played at Augusta National Golf Club since the November edition in 2020. His game has returned, finishing inside the top 20 in four of his last five stroke-play event starts. Before missing the cut at last year’s Valero, Fowler posted back-to-back top-20 finishes at TPC San Antonio in 2021 and 2019.
Here are five big-name players with a chance to earn an invitation down Magnolia Lane.
