They’re watching the leaderboard as much as the weather reports in San Antonio this week. The 2026 Valero Texas Open heads to the weekend at TPC San Antonio, but just how much golf takes place on Saturday remains to be seen.
The first round was weather-delayed and not completed until Friday morning. Friday saw a brief lightning delay. And there’s a more than 90 percent chance of more rain on Saturday. Just before noon local time, the horn blew for the latest suspension of play.
Whatever goes down, keep tabs on the live updates right here.

At 11:51 a.m. local time (12:51 p.m. ET), the horn was heard on the golf course at TPC San Antonio. This is the third weather delay of the week, one per day so far, as the weather radar showed a pretty good sized storm approaching. Officially, the suspension was for “inclement weather” as lightning was in the weather forecast.
Marco Penge is 6 under through 9 holes
Penge opened with a par on the 10th hole, his first of Saturday, before making birdie at No. 11. He then bogey the 12th but then caught fire, making birdie on his next six holes, Nos. 13 through 18. He made the turn in 30. He’s now at 10 under and has moved into a tie for second, four back of the lead.
Luke Clanton makes birdie early Saturday, makes cut
Clanton still had the par-4 ninth hole, his last of the day, to play when golf was suspended Friday evening. He was the only golfer not to complete 36 holes over two days, so went back out on Saturday to finish. He was at 2 under, right on the cutline, so a bogey this morning would have been brutal. But Clanton avoided bogey. In fact, he made birdie.
Second round finished early, third round underway
The second round didn’t wrap up until 7:38 a.m. on Saturday, with Luke Clanton making a birdie from nearly 36 feet on his final hole to move to 3 under through 36 holes. The cut came at 2-under 142 with 70 players advancing to the final two rounds.
Five of the 22 players in the Valero Texas Open field who are in next week’s Masters Tournament missed the cut this week: Russell Henley, Max Homa, Johnny Keefer, Haotong Li and Sepp Straka.
And they weren’t the only ones. Max Homa and Rickie Fowler are on this list for folks who didn’t reach the weekend.
Valero Texas Open weather forecast
If the predictions hold, we’re looking at some rain on Saturday at TPC San Antonio.
The total purse for the 2026 Valero Texas Open is $9.8 million. The winner will pocket $1.764 million, or 20 percent of the total purse. See the full payouts here.
