The PGA Tour heads to Texas this week for the Texas Children’s Houston Open, running March 26-29 at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston. The event comes on the heels of an exciting Valspar Championship and sets the stage for the run-up to the Masters in April.
The Course
Memorial Park Golf Course underwent a significant renovation designed by Tom Doak and reopened in 2020. The municipal course has been transformed into a championship-caliber venue that challenges the world’s best players while remaining accessible to the public during the rest of the year. The layout rewards accuracy off the tee and precise iron play, with well-protected greens that demand thoughtful approach shots.
What to Watch For
With the Masters just two weeks away, many top players use the Houston Open as their final competitive tune-up. The field typically includes several contenders testing their form ahead of Augusta National, making this week’s leaderboard a useful form guide for the first major of the year. Expect sharp competition from players hungry for both the Houston title and the confidence boost that a strong performance provides heading into April.
