PGA Tour: Texas Children’s Houston Open Prediction & Preview

The Texas Children’s Houston Open will be teeing off soon on Thursday, March 27 with a prize purse of $9,500,000. The action will take place at the Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, Texas, where Scottie Scheffler leads the field as a favorite with odds at +330.

Texas Children’s Houston Open Betting Preview

The Texas Children’s Houston Open will feature a handful of the world’s best golfers after they recently competed at the Valspar Championship and The Players tournament. This course is similar to ones that you would see for a Major, as there are plenty of strategic choices golfers must make in order to excel here.

This is a longer Par 71, spanning a little over 7,400 yards. The greens will play a little fast given that they have Bermuda and there are runoff areas that will test the best golfers in their scrambling techniques in the event they miss their mark in approaching the green.

Wind could be a factor here, as the Texas winds are sometimes unpredictable given the weather conditions. While the wind has been somewhat calm (and forecasted) to be that way over the next several days, you cannot rule out windy conditions.

Golfers That Could Win

The Texas Children’s Houston Open will showcase the best golfers, with nearly a dozen in the top-50 world rankings. Below are quality options to consider for this event.

Scottie Scheffler +330

Scheffler did not have the performance he wanted at the Players tournament with a T20 finish. However, he has still shown great consistency and is a threat anytime his name is on the board. On top of that, he tied for second here last season.

The top-ranked golfer has made all five cuts that he has participated in and has been in the top 10 twice. His worst finish was a T25 back at the Phoenix Open in February, so look for him to be motivated to crack the top 10 again.

Jacob Bridgeman +4500

Bridgeman offered one of the best performances at the Valspar Championship in the first three rounds. He shared a lead after the first 54 holes but came up slightly short with a third place finish at -9. Looking back here a year ago, he placed T21.

Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick

MyBookie has you covered for the best Texas Children’s Houston Open betting odds, which currently show Scheffler as the favorite. While he will likely perform well, one golfer stands out here.

Tony Finau won this event back in 2022, (no event in 2023), and came in second (five-way tie) here a year ago. He has solid momentum heading into this event with a T5 finish a few events back at the Genesis Open. Look for Finau to have a good opportunity for victory.

Final Pick: Tony Finau +3500
