The year is at the halfway point. The PGA Tour season is not.Two months, and only one major, are all that remain for the PGA Tour in 2026 to find some definition. There have been good tournaments, great finishes, redemptions and breakthroughs, and Scottie Scheffler as steady as he has always been...
Key takeaway Rory McIlroy became only the fourth back-to-back Masters champion, and the first since Tiger Woods in 2002.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
San Antonio golf fans are likely eager to see if Scottie Scheffler can regain his winning form in the remaining months of the PGA Tour season. As a steady performer, Scheffler's consistency is a testament to his skill, even if he hasn't stood out with multiple wins this year. With the final major at the British Open and the FedEx Cup playoff events on the horizon, Scheffler has a chance to make a strong push and define his season. Locally, this could have implications for the Valero Texas Open, which has been a stop on the PGA Tour schedule, as a strong finish by Scheffler could boost interest in the event when it returns to San Antonio. Additionally, the presence of multiple winners this year, including Wyndham Clark and Cameron Young, could lead to a more competitive field at the Valero Texas Open, making for an exciting tournament in the Alamo City.
