The Valero Texas Open is one of the more unique PGA events on the circuit and one of the events that include permanent style grandstand seating. The state of Texas loves to do things in a big way and the Valero Open is an event that lives up to the advanced billing.

There is a reason the PGA chose this tournament to follow the greatest golf event of the year, The Masters. The event does everything big and the fans come out in droves for this tournament. The event will be well attended and the fans will bring a different flavor to this distinctly unique PGA event.

Zach Johnson won the two previous Valero Texas Opens before Adam Scott took home the trophy in 2010. Johnson may not be the biggest the banger off the tee but Johnson is one of the most accurate PGA golfers off the tee. Another critical category in which Johnson excels is his ability to scramble after a poor shot.

One golfer that has fallen on hard times but has performed well in this event is Justin Leonard. He will have a chip on his shoulder since he did not qualify for The Masters and he will be a fun long shot to watch if he makes the cut.
