The PGA Tour heads to San Antonio this week for the Valero Texas Open 2022. The event will be played at TPC San Antonio, and will offer several players one final tuneup before the next week's Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. If he hasn't already qualified, the winner of this week's Texas Open will earn a place in the 2022 Masters field. Rory McIlroy is the betting favorite at 15-2, while defending champion Jordan Spieth is listed at 14-1 in the latest Valero Texas Open odds at Caesars Sportsbook. Other Texas Open top contenders include Corey Conners (18-1), Hideki Matsuyama (18-1), Abraham Ancer (22-1), and Bryson DeChambeau (25-1). The tournament purse is $7.9 million, with the winner taking home $1.386 million, making it critical that you nail your One and Done picks this week. 

With his status as world No. 9, McIlroy will likely be a very popular PGA one and done pick this week at TPC San Antonio. Is the four-time major champion a must-play? Or would it make more sense to go with another high upside option like Spieth (14-1), Matsuyama (18-1), Conners (18-1), or Maverick McNealy (35-1)? Before locking in your 2022 Valero Texas Open one and done picks, you need to see what SportsLine DFS pro and PGA expert Mike McClure has to say. 

The One and Done format is growing in popularity. It has several noticeable similarities to NFL Survivor pools, with the main difference being entries are not eliminated with a bad week. Players pick one golfer per week and earn points based on their selected golfer's prize money for that tournament. Golfers can only be used once per season, and the point format makes nailing majors and big money tournaments critical.

At the 2021 Open Championship, McClure's best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot. In addition, McClure's model was all over Jon Rahm's (10-1) first career major championship victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the weekend, but the model still projected him as the winner. 

This same model has also nailed a whopping seven majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

McClure has been nailing his one and done PGA picks all year as well. He called Hideki Matsuyama's outright win at the Sony Open, then followed that up by picking Will Zalatoris at the Farmers Insurance Open. The result: Zalatoris finished in sole possession of second place, taking home $915,600. At the Waste Management Phoenix Open McClure's top two One and Done picks were Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka, who both finished T-3, one stroke behind the leaders, which was good for $434,600 each. At the Arnold Palmer Invitational, McClure listed Tyrell Hatton and Matt Fitzpatrick among his top one and done options. Both finished in the top-10, with Hatton finishing T-2 ($908,000) and Fitzpatrick finishing T-9 ($339,000). 

Now, McClure has dialed in on the 2022 Valero Texas Open golf tournament, and just locked in his one and done picks and PGA predictions. You can only see McClure's Texas Open one and done picks at SportsLine.

2022 Valero Texas Open One and Done expert picks

One golfer McClure will definitely be backing this week at the Texas Open is Corey Conners. Currently ranked as the No. 32 player in the world, Conners won this event in 2019 and has a length track record of success at TPC San Antonio. 

The 30-year-old Canadian played outstanding golf at times in his last outing at the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play. Conners rolled through the group stage before eventually falling to Kevin Kisner in the semifinals of the Knockout Round. He would then go on to defeat Dustin Johnson in the third place match. Conners ranks No. 13 on the PGA Tour in strokes gained tee-to-green and No. 7 in strokes gained off the tee. With players like Rory McIlroy and Hideki Matsuyama in the Texas Open field, McClure thinks Conners could fly under the radar this week, making him an excellent one and done pick at TPC San Antonio.

How to make 2022 Valero Texas Open One and Done picks

McClure is also targeting a player for his Texas Open one and done picks that is listed at 45-1 in the latest PGA odds at Caesars. This player has been red-hot dating back to 2021, but consistently flies under the radar and has the ability to win any tournament he enters.
