The final stop on the road to Augusta National runs through San Antonio Texas and the Valero Texas Open. Welcome to the 2026 Valero Texas Open Preview Show, where we break down everything you are looking for a comprehensive breakdown of the Oaks Course or plan on betting the tournament.
Joe and John discuss in great detail the tumultuous week in the world of golf news surrounding Tiger Woods. From the beginning of the week where Joe was up close and personal with Tiger at TGL, to the tragic ending when he was arrested on suspicion of DWI. How that impacts the Masters and his future.
Finally, on a more triumphant note, the boys celebrate a return to the winning circle from one of our favorites, Gary Woodland. Winner of the 2026 Texas Houston Children's Open in dominant fashion. What this week meant for Gary and his future, all on this episode of Preferred Lines as we gear up for The Masters!
