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 through the renovation.
The course reportedly hosts 60,000 gamers per 12 months, thus drawing comparisons to the likes of Torrey Pines and Bethpage Black—two main championship-caliber programs the place every day charges are inexpensive 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 value contemplating among the greatest gamers on the planet play there yearly.
New this 12 months is the match’s spot on the calendar. When defending champion Tony Finau received at Memorial Park, he did so within the fall of 2022. However because the WGC-Dell Expertise Match Play was faraway from the PGA Tour schedule this 12 months, a gap popped up, and the Texas Youngsters’s Open stuffed 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 perfect gamers headed to Augusta Nationwide. Whoever received 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.
