Corey Conners headlines the main contenders, as the Canadian goes in search of a third title in the event. His second win was achieved in 2023, and he arrives in Texas in excellent form after finishing in the top ten on his last three appearances.

Keegan Bradley should also be considered this weekend. The American has finished in the top 20 on five occasions this season, and he has previous experience at TPC San Antonio after finishing in a tie for eighth in the 2022 event.

Hideki Matsuyama also boasts leading claims this weekend. He missed the cut for the first time this season at TPC Sawgrass, but has fared very well in the Texas Open in recent seasons, finishing in a tie for seventh in 2023.
