Before the Masters tees off next week as the 1st major of the season, players will tee it up this week at the 2023 Valero Texas Open. The tournament begins Thursday at TPC San Antonio with Tyrrell Hatton and Rickie Fowler headlining the field.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2023 Valero Texas Open odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Hatton is the highest-ranked player in the field this week, according to the latest Golfweek/Sagarin rankings. He comes in at No. 14, with Taylor Montgomery at No. 15. Si Woo Kim is the only other player in the field who's ranked inside the top 25.

TPC San Antonio (par 72, 7,435 yards) typically yields a winning score between 12-under par and 20-under, so it's not the toughest course for some of the world's best players. With bunkers on all but 1 hole, greens are guarded and will require accuracy on players' approaches.

Valero Texas Open - Top-5 picks

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 12:34 p.m. ET.

Rickie Fowler (+410)

This feels like a great spot for Fowler to win in advance of the Masters. It's not a loaded field by any means and few players have been more consistent than Fowler this season. In his last 4 stroke-play starts, he has 3 top-20s and another top-30 finish. At the WGC Match Play last week, he beat Jon Rahm in the opening match. So, his game is peaking at just the right time and he's heading to a course where he has 2 top-17 finishes in his last 3 starts.

Matt Wallace (+850)

Let's take a shot on Wallace, the winner of last week's Corales Puntacana Championship. It was his 2nd straight top-10 finish after a great showing at the Valspar Championship. He missed the cut here last year but in 2021, he came in 3rd, nearly winning at TPC San Antonio. His odds are long but he's playing well right now and has performed here before.
