SAN ANTONIO (AP) Valero Energy has signed a 10-year extension as title sponsor of the PGA Tour's Texas Open.

The deal announced Wednesday runs through 2028.

In 2019, the first year of the extension, the event will be played the week before the Masters.

The 2018 tournament is set for April 19-22 - two weeks after the Masters - at TPC San Antonio's Oaks Course.
