For this year’s event, both Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are missing in action in Texas.
McIlroy is taking a much deserved break before the stretch of majors begins next month with the Masters and Scheffler and his wife are expecting their second baby any day now.
JUST IN: Scottie Scheffler has withdrawn from the Houston Open. He and Meredith are expecting their second child.

Unfortunately for golf fans, much of the talk about the sport has been focused on Tiger Woods’ latest car crash, which took place on Friday, March 27 near his home in Florida. The 50-year-old golfer was arrested with a DUI, refusing to submit to a lawful test and for property damage. This is another sad event that can be added to Tiger Woods’ timeline of scandals, arrests and car crashes.
