Following a fourth-place finish at the Players’ Championship, Robert MacIntyre looks to the Valero Texas Open with much optimism this week.
What to know about Robert MacIntyre
The Scottish golfer turned professional in 2017 and featured at the Jordan Ayla Golf Championship and Sahara Kuwait Championship in October that year. While he finished third in the former, MacIntyre won the latter, staking his name among the best upcoming golfers.
MacIntyre currently has five professional wins under his belt and was ranked number five on the World Golf Rankings in January 2026.
The 29-year-old claimed the 2024 RBC Canadian Open as his first PGA Tour win in June, finishing one stroke ahead of Ben Griffin. MacIntyre continued his winning momentum the following month by clinching the 2024 Genesis Scottish Open.
MacIntyre is also a four-time European Tour Champion, his last win was at the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship where he finished four strokes ahead of Tyrrell Hatton.
What did he say
Speaking after the Players’ Championship, MacIntyre believes he has what it takes to make statements in big tournaments this year, such as the upcoming Valero Texas Open.
“It's where I want to compete,” MacIntyre said.
“Last year was a big wake-up call for me that I can compete at the top end of world golf I had a chance today to do something very special — Sandy was the last one from our country to do it.
“The way I'm playing, driving it beautifully, putting unbelievable, it was just a matter of getting the ball inside 30 feet and then look out.
“I really thought I was in with a shout.”
