How much prize money does the winner get at the Texas Children’s Houston Open?
The Memorial Park Golf Course is the setting for this year’s Houston Open which concludes on Sunday, 31 March.
Tony Finau is back in action at the Houston Open as the Salt Lake City native looks to retain his crown following his four-stroke win over Tyson Alexander the last time the Open was staged in November 2022.
This year the 34-year-old Finau faces stiff competition in Texas with the likes of Taylor Moore, Scottie Scheffler and Beau Hossler all set to offer serious opposition.
Finau joined an illustrious list of previous Houston Open winners with the likes of Vijay Singh, Fred Couples, Paul Casey and Curtis Strange all past winners.
