Relive the 2024 Valero Texas Open!
The Valero Texas Open celebrated this storied tournament in April with a suspenseful play-off between Akshay Bhatia and Denny McCarthy, marking the first playoff to take place at the Valero Texas Open since moving to TPC San Antonio in 2010 (16th overall at the Valero Texas Open). With a birdie-4 on the first playoff hole (No. 18), Bhatia defeated McCarthy to win the Valero Texas Open. At the end of a great week and exciting competition, it was Wake Forest, NC resident Akshay Bhatia picked up his second PGA TOUR victory in his 54th start at the age of 22 years, 2 months, 7 days; both wins have come in playoffs (2023 Barracuda Championship, 2024 Valero Texas Open).
Thanks to the generosity of the community, this year’s Valero Texas Open, along with the Valero Benefit for Children, raised a record-breaking $24 million, bringing the grand total to $256 million in charitable giving.
The Valero Texas Open raised charitable dollars through a variety of programs including its pro-am golf tournaments, corporate sponsorships, ticket & concession sales, the Champions fore Charity program in which nonprofit organizations solicit donations with a match from tournament proceeds.
Funds were also raised through the Benefit for Children – a fundraising event in which participants enjoyed golf outings across 9 of San Antonio’s premiere golf courses or a sporting clays competition, all of which was held the Monday following the Valero Texas Open.
None of this, however, would have been possible if it were not for the steadfast support of our corporate partners, volunteers, fans and spectators, and the greater San Antonio community. On behalf of the Valero Texas Open and Valero Energy Foundation, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation for your support and the role you played in making this year’s Valero Texas Open an extraordinary success.
