Texas Open is leaving La Cantera and moving to its own course the AT&T Oaks Course. Valero Texas Open has its new AT&T Oaks-TPC Course home, which is owned by the PGA Tour, designed by Greg Norman, and is due to open just in time to enjoy all the grand opening and tournament festivities set to take place May 13-16, 2010 in San Antonio.
After 15 years at the Westin La Cantera Resort, the 2010 Valero Texas Open, will move to the fabulous new TPC San Antonio and JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa in northeast San Antonio. Combined with the 2009 move to a May date as part of the PGA TOUR's FedExCup competition and weekend television coverage on CBS, the 2010 Valero Texas Open will offer a professional golf experience never before seen in San Antonio.
The Valero Texas Open dates all the way back to 1922, when it was originally known as the Texas Open. Now considered an official PGA Tour event, San Antonio-based Valero Energy Corporation took over naming rights in 2002. In 2003, the Valero Texas Open – previously played on The Resort Course at the La Cantera Golf Club in San Antonio – was the site of the 72-hole PGA Tour record 254 shot by Tommy Armour III.
