Only four rounds separate golfers from the first major championship of the season as the 2025 Texas Open plays as an appetizer for the main course that is the Masters next week. Before players make their travel arrangements to Augusta National, they will be faced with dismantling TPC San Antonio, where big numbers lurk around every corner due to the tight corridors off the tee.

With the Texas Open marking the final tournament before the Masters, it also represents the last chance for a player to secure an invitation for next week’s field. Ben Griffin narrowly missed out on qualifying via the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings last week in Houston and now requires a win in his 13th consecutive week of action. Others falling in the same bucket include Si Woo Kim, Rickie Fowler, and Keith Mitchell.

However, not all need to worry about their place in the field next week, as several big names are teeing it up in San Antonio looking to conclude their preparations. Masters champions Hideki Matsuyama and Jordan Spieth headline the field, supported by some of the best players in the world without major titles.

Swedish superstar Ludvig Åberg returns to action following a somewhat disappointing Florida Swing that saw him miss the cut at the Players Championship. His Ryder Cup teammate, Tommy Fleetwood, continues to be a model of consistency on the PGA Tour but still seeks his first victory in the United States.

Two-time tournament winner Corey Conners appears primed to add a third title to his collection, while last year’s playoff participants Akshay Bhatia and Denny McCarthy are making inroads with their games. Patrick Cantlay, Keegan Bradley, Tony Finau, Tom Kim, Sam Burns, and Daniel Berger round out a solid field in the Lone Star State.

2025 Texas Open Field, Odds

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

• Ludvig Åberg (12-1): It’s been a mixed start to 2025 for Åberg, with a battle against illness impacting him during the West Coast Swing. Despite this, his iron play remains solid, which will be crucial in this event.
• Tommy Fleetwood (14-1): Fleetwood is showcasing stellar golf, achieving four straight top-20 finishes. First in total strokes gained this year in the field, he is a strong contender.
• Corey Conners (16-1)
• Patrick Cantlay (18-1): Keeping a low profile, staying around the top 15 in his last few starts, he seems poised for a breakout.
• Jordan Spieth (22-1): Spieth returned from a wrist injury, performing well in previous tournaments and featured prominently here.
