2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open PGA Betting
The Houston Open is moving back to the spring, with the 2024 event set for late March on the PGA Tour schedule. The event has been played at many golf courses in its history including the Golf Club of Houston before moving to the Memorial Park Golf Course in 2020. The tournament had been held the week before the Masters but that changed in 2019 when it moved to the fall. The event has moved back to the spring, but at least it is held two weeks before the Masters, so it could be used as a prep for many of the world’s top players. Texas Children’s Hospital has signed on to be the tournament’s sponsor from 2024 until 2029. Tony Finau is the defending champion.
Catch all of the action at the Houston Open from Thursday, March 28 through Sunday, March 31.

In recent years the list of winners in this tournament is not a marquee list because most of the top players skip this event, but Tony Finau did get the win in 2022. The names of Kokrak, Ortiz, Griffin, Poulter, Henley, Herman, Holmes, Jones, Points and Mahan are definitely not a who’s who list of golfers. The Houston Open was not always scheduled before the Masters, so there are some big names on the list, including Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott and Vijay Singh.

Two players, Vijay Singh and Curtis Strange have won this event three times and a number of players have won the event twice. It could be that a player challenges that record with the tournament scheduled to take place two weeks before the Masters.

Singh holds the record at 22-under par, but that mark was nearly equaled in 2017, as Henley finished just two shots off the record. It is a little bit surprising that the mark by Singh has held up through the years, but it is not easy in most tournaments to shoot better than 20-under par.
