The Houston Open
March 26–29, 2026
With the Florida Swing now complete and just two weeks remaining before the Masters, the PGA Tour heads to the Lone Star State and Memorial Park Golf Course for the Texas Children’s Houston Open. One of the premier public municipal courses in the country, Memorial Park is a long par 70 measuring 7,475 yards, with roots dating back to 1912.
The layout is somewhat unique, featuring five par 3s and three par 5s. Despite its length, the course is relatively straightforward in terms of hazards, with just 21 bunkers and only four holes bringing water into play. The primary defense of the course lies in its unique green complexes, which feature significant undulation, short-grass runoffs, and challenging false fronts. As course superintendent Parker Henry puts it, “Nothing is hidden—it’s all out in front of you. But these green complexes can be treacherous if players don’t hit their target.”
Nic led the pro shop picks last week with great finishes across the board, however, he continues to pick Scottie Scheffler or Brooks Koepka each week so go figure! Scottie will not be playing this week as he and his wife are expecting, but look for Nic to remain steadfast with the Brooks Koepka picks. Matt Kay finished second with solid picks followed by Matt Krallman and our fearless leader, Cale. Here are this week’s picks!
