The Valero Texas Open, despite being one of the most historic events, is not an elevated event. The PGA Tour has kept it a regular event. The tournament will have the regular 36-hole cut, which will ensure the top 65 players get paid. Interestingly, the golfer finishing in 65th place will win $19,135 for his efforts.

It is pertinent to note that the Texas Open also holds other incentives for players. Being the PGA Tour’s last stop ahead of the Masters, several players will be playing this week for a shot to qualify for the Augusta National event.
