The PGA Tour will stop at the Memorial Golf Course for the first of its two-week stay in Texas. The Houston event is returning after a year of absence. Texas Children’s, the largest pediatric and women’s health system in the county, became a title sponsor last year, after Cadence Bank’s departure. The Texas Children’s Houston Open has also moved up to the Spring schedule from the November 10; it was played last time in 2022.

Stars to watch out for at the Texas Children’s Houston Open
The Texas Children’s Houston Open is not a signature event. Yet, it boasts quite a loaded field, with four of the world’s top 20 players—Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark (4), Sahith Theegala (15), and Jason Day (20)—teeing off at the Texas Children’s Houston Open. Defending champion Tony Finau (then world no. 14) strives to be the first player to defend his title since Vijay Singh in 2004–05.
Returning star, Will Zalatoris, will look to better his performance from THE PLAYERS. Zalatoris was out of the greens for eight months due to a back injury and subsequent surgery. The one-time PGA Tour winner missed the cut at TPC Sawgrass. But the 27-year-old has also netted two top-fives in the Arnold Palmer Invitational (T4), and the Genesis Invitational (T2).
Zalatoris is also part of a group of players who are still recovering or struggling with injuries. Scottie Scheffler’s neck became a nuisance at THE PLAYERS. The world’s no.1 golfer received treatment from the on-course physio. Although Scheffler swatted aside the neck problem to become part of Sawgrass history, it is not clear if the neck problem is completely gone or not. The 27-year-old has skipped the Valspar Championship.
Groupings and starting times for the first and second round of the Texas Children’s Houston Open
You can follow the Texas Children’s Houston Open live on ESPN+. On TV, the Golf Channel will broadcast the first two rounds from 4-7 p.m. The Saturday round will be divided between Golf Channel (1-3.30 PM) and NBC (3.30–6 PM). The final round of broadcasting will start on Golf Channel from 1-2.30 p.m. and then continue on NBC (2.30–6 PM).
