Will Tom Hoge finish in the Top 5 at the 2026 Valero Texas Open?

“Tom Hoge is currently tied for 68th-69th place at -1 after two rounds, with scores of 71-72, placing him well outside the top 5 contention with two rounds remaining.. The current leader, Robert MacIntyre, is at -14, meaning Hoge is 13 strokes behind the leader and 9 strokes behind the second-place player, Ludvig Åberg (-10)..”

“Insurmountable Stroke Deficit: Hoge is at -1, trailing the leader (-14) by 13 strokes and second place (-10) by 9 strokes. Making up a 9+ stroke deficit over 36 holes against a field of 60+ players is statistically near-impossible on the PGA Tour.. High Probability of Missed Cut: The research indicates the cut line typically falls between -3 and -5. At -1, Hoge has likely missed the cut entirely, which would immediately hard-lock the resolution to NO..”
