Here is the complete FedExCup points and purse breakdown for winner Corey Conners and the rest of the players who made the cut at the 2019 Valero Texas Open. The world’s top golfers will head to San Antonio this week for the 2017 staging of the Valero Texas Open. A cool $6.2 million is at stake for the elite field with the champion grabbing not only 500 FedExCup points but also the $1.116 million top prize.
Furthermore, golfing fans might be glued to the Golfing Channel this weekend, as “The 3 Irish Open” takes place across the pond; so cheer on your golfing wagers in the morning and in the afternoon. The Open Championship champion Padraig Harrington is your early line favorite at +1000, whileRory Mcilroy is the second favorite at +1300 with Lee Westwood completing the top 3 at +1600.
Harrington might be tired this weekend, as he had to travel back from the Players Championship and shot a +2 for the tournament and tied for 49th place. Not too many people repeat at this course, so look for a nice longshot payout and maybe take a courtesy look at Thomas Bjorn at +3000 to win it.
Ron Raymond's Golf Picks
Sports Handicapper and Professional Gambler Ron Raymond has released his Valero Texas Open golf picks and he’s going with a 22.5 to 1 longshot to win this event. Ron’s golf picks are ranked from Gold (Top Play), Silver (Second Best Bet) to BronzeGold Pick: Charlie Wi +2250
Keys to selection: Charlie Wi came in second a few weeks ago at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans shooting 66, 70, 71, and 68 – 275. Charlie didn’t make the cut last week in a field full of stud golfers; but he could be the talk of the town on Sunday by the way he’s been playing of late.
Silver Pick: Justin Leonard +1050
Keys to selection: Anytime you have a watered down field like this one at the Valero Texas Open, it’s hard not to take a veteran like Leonard who’s got a major title in his bag.
Bronze Pick: Tim Clark +2050
Keys to selection: Tim Clark is my longshot this week; great showing at The Players last week, tied for 9th and shot 69 on Sunday.

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. … Eaton announced today that its Golf Pride Grips Division developed the TOUR SNSR putter grip used by the winner of the 2017 Valero Texas Open.

In addition to providing the winner’s putter grip, Golf Pride was also the preferred swing grip, used by 27 players who finished in the Top 30.

Golf Pride’s TOUR SNSR putter grips feature large TOUR-proven shapes that are engineered with innovative SNSR material to deliver unsurpassed feedback into the hands to improve players’ distance control. The soft-tuned rubber formulation gives these grips extraordinary feel, and encourages lighter grip pressure that golfers seek in creating a smooth stroke.
Players can dial in the feel that fits them best with two TOUR proven shapes, the TOUR SNSR CONTOUR and the TOUR SNSR STRAIGHT.
TOUR SNSR CONTOUR is an evolution of the classic tapered pistol profile that is the shape preference of over 75% of Tour players. The pistol allows golfers to “lock in” their upper hand for consistent hand placement that translates to more confidence in every stroke.
TOUR SNSR STRAIGHT offers a contemporary, non-taper shape promoting a consistent hand pressure and feel. The straight taper design features soft, rounded edges that are strategically beveled for palm and finger pad comfort.
All four TOUR SNSR models feature a wide paddle front, sculpted to promote lighter grip pressure and consistent hand placement. Additionally, they are each finished with a traction-textured design that provides heightened feel and moisture control. Each shape is available in two oversize options, 104cc and 140cc. The TOUR SNSR Series is currently available at retail features a street price of $24.99.
