The PGA Tour heads to Texas, as Scottie Scheffler and Wyndham Clark headline the sector for this week’s Texas Youngsters’s Houston Open.
Since 2020, this match has been held at Memorial Park Golf Course, a municipal course revitalized by Tom Doak in 2019. Brooks Koepka even served as an advisor throughout the renovation.
The course reportedly hosts 60,000 gamers per yr, thus drawing comparisons to the likes of Torrey Pines and Bethpage Black—two main championship-caliber programs the place day by day charges are reasonably priced for locals.
Houston residents can play Memorial Park for as little as $30 on weekdays, whereas out-of-towners should fork over $120—not a nasty worth contemplating among the finest gamers on the planet play there yearly.
New this yr is the match’s spot on the calendar. When defending champion Tony Finau gained at Memorial Park, he did so within the fall of 2022. However for the reason that WGC-Dell Know-how Match Play was faraway from the PGA Tour schedule this yr, a gap popped up, and the Texas Youngsters’s Open crammed that void two weeks earlier than The Masters.
Humorous sufficient, earlier than 2019, when this occasion moved to the autumn, the Houston Open was performed the week earlier than the very best gamers headed to Augusta Nationwide. Whoever gained this occasion sometimes acquired the ultimate invitation into The Masters.
Now it’s again within the spring, and the winner, if not already exempt, will obtain an invitation to Augusta.
