Bob Weeks recommended betting Alejandro Tosti at +175 odds to finish as the Top South American at the Valero Texas Open. Weeks explained Tosti will be highly motivated after recent public criticism relating to slow play comments. This added motivation could fuel Tosti's performance, giving his bet excellent potential value.

Bob Weeks recommended betting Tommy Fleetwood as the Top Englishman at +140 odds at the Valero Texas Open. Week's justification was straightforward, suggesting this could finally be the event where Fleetwood captures his first PGA Tour victory, highlighting Fleetwood's talent and solid recent form that positions him favorably among fellow English competitors.

Bob Weeks advised wagering on Keith Mitchell at +160 odds for a Top-20 finish at the Valero Texas Open. Weeks noted Mitchell's solid recent performance, achieving a top-20 result last week in Houston. Mitchell also has an encouraging track record at TPC San Antonio, earning top-20 finishes in his past two appearances, including a tie for 14th place one year ago. Additionally, Weeks referenced Mitchell's elite skill off the tee, where he currently ranks fifth in the PGA Tour's Strokes Gained: Off The Tee statistic, providing considerable value and consistency for a Top-20 bet.

Bob Weeks recommended betting Sam Stevens to finish within the top 20 at +180 for the Valero Texas Open. Weeks explained Stevens is coming off a strong Sunday round of 65 last week, leading to an 18th-place finish that signals positive momentum. Weeks stressed Stevens' proven success at this tournament, finishing tied for second two years ago and tied for 14th last year, bolstered by his strong driving ability that aligns well with the demands of TPC San Antonio.

Bob Weeks identified Gary Woodland as a recommended Top-10 wager at odds of +410 for the Valero Texas Open. Weeks emphasized the emotional and impressive nature of Woodland's recent performance, tying for second place last week in Houston. It marked Woodland's best finish since his U.S. Open win in 2019, coming after a remarkable comeback from brain surgery. Additionally, Weeks cited Woodland's strong course history—recording two top-10 finishes in his previous two starts at TPC San Antonio—as further support for betting Woodland to continue his strong play this week.

Bob Weeks suggested betting Akshay Bhatia for a Top-10 finish at +220 odds for the Valero Texas Open. Weeks pointed out that Bhatia, the defending champion of this event, arrives in outstanding form, accumulating three top-10 finishes in his past four tournaments including an impressive tie for third at the Players Championship. Weeks specifically highlighted Bhatia's greatly improved putting game this season, as he currently ranks ninth on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Putting.

Bob Weeks highlighted Corey Conners as a solid pick to win the Valero Texas Open at +1600 odds. Weeks emphasized Conners' strong recent form, pointing out that he has recorded three consecutive top-10 finishes entering the tournament. He also noted Conners' exceptional course history at TPC San Antonio, having captured both of his PGA Tour victories at this event. Weeks credited Conners' recent improvement on the greens, complementing his consistently stellar ball-striking, as a key reason he's trending towards another potential win.

In addition to an outright win bet, Bob Weeks also sees considerable value in betting Rory McIlroy as the first-round leader at +2000. Given McIlroy's elite recent putting form (ranking 10th in Strokes Gained: Putting) and his red-hot play with two victories already this season, Weeks believes the odds represent an appealing wager on McIlroy starting strong at Memorial Park.

Bob Weeks sees betting value in Mackenzie Hughes to finish as the top Canadian at +350 odds, emphasizing the strong results Hughes has historically achieved at Memorial Park. Weeks did not detail specific statistics of Hughes' past performances but noted attractive odds for a player who consistently shows well at this venue.

Bob Weeks recommended Stephan Jaeger to finish as the top German, citing his strong recent performances at Memorial Park. Jaeger won this distinction last year and placed T9 the previous year, confirming that his strong historical results make him the best value for this betting category at +115 odds.

Bob Weeks likes Tony Finau's chances to secure a top-20 finish this week, based largely on his strong history at Memorial Park. Finau has thrived in Houston, with finishes of first and second in his two most recent visits here. Weeks acknowledged Finau’s mixed recent form—including an encouraging fifth-place tie at the Genesis Invitational but a disappointing missed cut at the Players Championship—but highlighted the player's comfort level and proven success on this course as key reasons to back him this week.

Bob Weeks identified Taylor Pendrith as a solid top-20 betting candidate at +190 odds, highlighting Pendrith’s typically reliable tee-to-green game that has continued into this season. Despite struggling recently with a notably cold putter—a surprising development given Pendrith finished last season ranked fifth in Strokes Gained: Putting—Weeks found optimism in Pendrith’s improved performance on the greens at the Players Championship, his best putting effort of the year. Weeks believes this uptick, if sustained, makes Pendrith a genuine contender at Memorial Park.

Bob Weeks saw value in Michael Kim for a Top 10 finish despite recent weaker results, mentioning Kim's run of five straight top-12 finishes before missing the cut at the Players and finishing T28 at the Valspar Championship. Weeks emphasized Kim's consistent play in key metrics, specifically noting he's ranked 11th on Tour in both Strokes Gained: Tee to Green and Around the Green. Kim's putter, though middle-of-the-pack overall, has been positive in six of his last seven tournaments, enhancing his potential upside this week in Houston.

Bob Weeks recommends a top-10 bet on Scottie Scheffler despite acknowledging the limited value at -200 odds. Weeks noted Scheffler's inconsistency with the putter as the primary reason for hesitation, with recent cold spells contrasting sharply with last year's performance at a similar point in the season. However, Weeks pointed to Scheffler's incredible consistency with his tee-to-green performance, ranking second on Tour in this critical metric, as reason enough to confidently expect a strong finish at Memorial Park.

Bob Weeks identified Aaron Rai as an attractive betting option due to his strong recent play and impressive history at Memorial Park. Rai finished 14th at the Players Championship last week and previously recorded an 11th-place finish at the Arnold Palmer and a fourth-place result in Mexico. Importantly, Rai has tied for seventh in each of his last two appearances at this event. Weeks pointed out Rai's exceptional tee-to-green performance and emphasized that when he's putting well, he's consistently among the top finishers, making him a promising wager this week.

Bob Weeks highlighted Rory McIlroy's significantly improved putting as a key indicator of his betting value this week at the Texas Childrens Houston Open. McIlroy currently ranks 10th on Tour in Strokes Gained: Putting, a major improvement from his 59th-place finish last year. Weeks emphasized that McIlroy has already secured two victories this season, including at the Players Championship, noting it's his first time ever securing multiple pre-Masters wins. Given his stellar recent form, especially on the greens, Weeks believes that as long as McIlroy maintains accuracy off the tee, he is well-positioned to secure another win before the Masters.
