Inside the Field: Valero Texas Open
3 Min Read

Mic’d up with Valero winner Brian Harman
Written by Staff
The PGA TOUR heads to TPC San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open, the second leg of the Texas two-step.
The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields, based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.
Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all full-field events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with 'reshuffle' notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.
Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
