The amount, which once again is expected to be among the highest on the PGA TOUR, brings the total to $138 million over the 96-year history of the tourney. Since Valero's title sponsorship began in 2002, more than 4,000 grants have gone to worthy charities in communities across the United States where Valero has major operations. Employees select the charities to receive support. "We are honored to share the incredible impact that the Valero Texas Open and Benefit for Children tournaments have on charities nationwide," said Martin Parrish, Valero Vice President-Alternative Fuels and the Tournament Chairman. The Valero Texas Open concluded yesterday at TPC San Antonio, crowning new champion Andrew Landry, who earned his first PGA TOUR win with a two-shot victory. Benefit for Children events today will include tournaments on 13 golf courses in the San Antonio area, as well as a sporting clays shooting competition. More than 1,700 volunteers work the combined Valero Texas Open and Benefit for Children. Valero Texas Open is one of four tournaments in the history of the PGA TOUR to eclipse $100 million in charitable giving, making it one of the three most-charitable events on the tour worldwide. Valero has raised that amount and more in just 17 years of title sponsorship. Valero announced in October that it extended its contract with the PGA TOUR to host the Valero Texas Open another 10 years, beginning in 2019 and through 2028.
