Texas Open Golf Predictions, Odds and PGA Tour Picks for Thursday, 04/02/26

While the 3 aforementioned players all have claims if they arrive with their A-game, this looks an ideal opportunity for Jordan Spieth to secure a confidence-boosting pre-Masters win. The Texas native has been consistently solid in recent weeks, with finishes of 12th, 11th, 32nd and 11th in his last 4 PGA Tour starts, striking his irons particularly well throughout the Florida Swing.

He knows the Oaks Course well, finishing runner-up in 2015 and winning in 2021. He was 10th in 2024 despite arriving in poor form, and 12th last year when not quite firing on all cylinders. The 32-year-old is being shown plenty of respect by oddsmakers and, while he too will have one eye on the Masters, he will be eager to end a near 4-year win drought in a tournament he loves.

Like Spieth, defending champion Brian Harman is well-suited to a windy Oaks Course, as he showed last year when opening with back-to-back 66s before holding on to win by 3 shots. Harman’s form has been patchy this season, but his best effort of 2026 came on his latest start, finishing 11th at The Players Championship 3 weeks ago.
