The PGA Tour heads to Texas this week for the Texas Children’s Houston Open, one of the final stops before the golf world descends on Augusta National.
While it’s easy to just look ahead, there is a decent field in Houston this week for golfers trying to prepare for the opening major championship in 2026. Min Woo Lee will attempt to defend what was his inaugural Tour win this week, and both Chris Gotterup and Sahith Theegala are in the field, too. Brooks Koepka, who has been playing better recently after his return from LIV Golf, will tee it up, too.
Koepka has three straight top 20 finishes, including last week’s T18 run at the Valspar Championship. Scottie Scheffler was going to compete this week, but he withdrew on Tuesday morning due to the incoming birth of his second child. As far as reasons for the top-ranked golfer in the world to withdraw from an event, that’s got to be at the top of the list.
