From March 30 to April 5, the Valero Texas Open, or VTO, will be held for the 17th year at The Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio in the Stone Oak area. Founded in 1922, Larson Segerdahl, executive director of the VTO, said the city has a unique relationship with the tournament, which is the third-oldest event on the PGA Tour and the sixth-oldest professional golf tournament in the world.

Diving in deeper: Approximately 42% of VTO attendees come from outside San Antonio, and the average visiting attendee spends roughly $502 per day, including the cost of their hotel. Since 2022, the tournament has averaged more than 60,000 attendees over the four-day competition, according to VTO officials.

Measuring the impact: Segerdahl said charity is the foundation of the VTO.

“For the better part of the last 15 years, we have been No. 1 on the PGA Tour in annual charitable giving ... this past year we were able to raise $25 million,” Segerdahl said.

One of Texas’s largest suppliers of medical-grade cannabis has announced a statewide expansion, including a new satellite location in San Antonio.

In case you missed it: Texas Original announced the opening of a new location at 1464 Austin Hwy., just north of Alamo Heights, according to a news release.

This new spot is known as a “satellite” location, according to the release.

“Satellite locations, authorized under House Bill 46, allow licensed medical marijuana providers to operate Department of Public Safety‑approved locations where medicine can be securely stored onsite,” the release states.

House Bill 46 also includes the Compassionate Use Program, which first allowed THC products to be sold for medical purposes only, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

What’s special about it? Texas Original sells products to patients with verified medical prescriptions, according to their website.
