Event Preview

The countdown to the first major of the season continues this weekend, as the Houston Open will see some of the world’s best players compete over 7,432 yards at Memorial Park Golf Course. A huge purse of $9.5 million will be available to players this weekend.

Rory McIlroy looks primed for a strong effort at The Masters this year, having already landed two wins to sit top of the FedEx Cup Standings. The Northern Irish star will be playing at the Houston Open for the first time, and he should boast leading claims.

Scottie Scheffler once again starts a PGA Tour event as the market leader. The American has an excellent record at Memorial Park after finishing second on two previous appearances. This will be his opportunity to build momentum ahead of the opening major of the season.

Aaron Rai is another player who deserves huge respect. The English player has finished in the top 15 on four occasions this season, while he has also made the cut on each of his last three starts at Memorial Park.

Jason Day is also a star worth keeping tabs on this weekend. The Australian was last in action finishing in a tie for eighth at The Players, and he has now finished in the top 15 on three starts this season.

Houston Open Picks

Despite the top two players being clear in the betting, it could be worth chancing Tony Finau this weekend. The American has a stunning record at Memorial Park, finishing second last year and setting the course record in 2023. Despite some inconsistent form, he could be primed to get back on track in Houston.
