The Valero Texas Open takes place each year after the US Masters in April at the Oaks Course at the TPC San Antonio golf resort. It has gained a reputation on the PGA Tour for being an event at which the players consistently card low scores which has also made for some interesting betting over the years.
Some great names from the world of golf have won the title in the past, including Arnold Palmer, and it has been going since its inception in 1922. The $6.1 million event always attracts a strong field but due to it being so soon after the US Masters it means that the very best in the world sometimes opt to give it a miss which means there is plenty of value and competition in the ante-post odds.
Of current players, Justin Leonard is the stand out name to look out for in the ante-post betting as he currently jointly holds the record number of wins in the Texas Open. The American has won the event three times (2000, 2001, 2007) to match the feat of the great Arnold Palmer. Zach Johnson is another that is likely to be found at short price odds after his consecutive victories in 2008 and 2009, while 2010 winner Australian Adam Scott became the first player from outside of the USA to win the event since 1992

| 2012 | Ben Curtis | USA | 279 (-9) |

Result:
1. Ben Curtis (USA) 279 (-9)
2. Matt Every (USA) 281 (-7)
2. John Huh (USA) 281 (-7)

The Heritage, or Heritage Classic as it was formerly called, is an invitational event on the PGA Tour and follows the Valero Texas Open in the tour calendar.
It is a popular event with several of the strong players on the tour, although it rarely attracts the stellar names from the world of golf, with the likes of Boo Weekley, Jim Furyk and Brian Gay winning in the past and provided great value in the betting in the process.
There is sure to be plenty of value to be found in the betting this year again and it generally serves the punter well to look out for the consistent PGA Tour performers.....
