The Course
The tournament will be played at the The Oaks Course, home of the PGA Tour’s Valero Open and one of two courses on the grounds of TPC San Antonio. The course, designed by Greg Norman, with consultant, Sergio Garcia, reflects the TOUR’s departure from the modern tournament style course (expansive grass areas and spectator mounding) to a more natural look and feel, without sacrificing the fan experience, making it very tournament friendly.
