How much prize money did Min Woo Lee win at the Texas Children’s Houston Open?

The 2025 Texas Children’s Houston Open has been interrupted by weather delays but there was no shortage of quality on display across the weekend.

Min Woo Lee extended his lead to win the tournament on a final day that was full of controversy. The Australian put on a solid display to claim his maiden title in elite golf.

The world’s top two players - World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and No. 2 Rory McIlroy - were the runaway favourites ahead of the competition, with McIlroy making his first appearance at the event since 2014. Texas native Scheffler played the Houston Open each of the past four years. He tied for second last year and in the fall of 2021.

The top prize for the 2025 Texas Children’s Houston Open is $1.71 million. Here’s a closer look at how the $9.5 million total prize fund is shared out...

The PGA Tour event is usually played in March but it was briefly moved to the fall after a schedule restructuring in 2019. However the recent return to a calendar-year format has meant that the Houston Open has returned to its usually position in golf’s calendar.

Weather delays the action in Houston

Golfers were forced to contend with some tough conditions on Friday as rain, thunderstorms and lightening struck at the Memorial Park Golf Course. Play was halted at 3:01pm local time on Day Two, resuming two hours later once the storms had passed.

That caused complications for those who had teed off later with play eventually suspended due to darkness shortly after 7:30pm. The action resumed on Saturday morning at 7:30am. However the morning wave had managed to complete their second round before the bad weather closed in and Scheffler took advantage of the good conditions to tie the course record with a scintillating 8-under round of 62 to take control at the halfway point.

“Yesterday I felt like I made a couple key par saves, and today I felt like for the most part I kept the golf course in front of me and I had a lot of looks for birdie,” Scheffler said on Friday, after tying his own course record. “So I didn’t feel like I was struggling for par too much, and that was mostly because I was in the fairway.”
