This page holds the record of the last two editions and the course facts that decide it. When a board for 2027 is posted, the odds and our read go here.

Where the Houston Open is played
Memorial Park Golf Course is in Houston, and for the PGA Tour it plays as a par 70 of 7,475 yards. Both 2025 and 2026 were held there, and both winners went 20 under or better.
The 2027 date comes from the PGA Tour calendar ESPN publishes, which lists the event from Thursday, March 25 to Sunday, March 28. The purse for 2027 has not been published. In 2026 it was $9,900,000, with $1,782,000 to the winner.
Who won the Houston Open in 2026
Woodland shot 64, 63, 65 and 67 for a 259 total, 21 under. He led a field of 135 that was cut to 75 after two rounds.
| Finish | Golfer | Score | Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gary Woodland | -21 | 64-63-65-67 |
| 2 | Nicolai Højgaard | -16 | 68-62-63-71 |
| T3 | Johnny Keefer | -15 | 67-68-66-64 |
| T3 | Min Woo Lee | -15 | 68-63-67-67 |
| 5 | Sam Stevens | -14 | 67-65-67-67 |
| T6 | Jake Knapp, Chris Gotterup, Sudarshan Yellamaraju, Jason Day | -13 |
Højgaard was one shot off Woodland’s pace after three rounds (193 to 192) and closed with 71. The 2026 version of this page took Brooks Koepka at +2600 as its outright. Koepka shot 75 and 69 and missed the cut at 4 over, and the page’s longshot, Ryan Fox at +7200, missed it at 3 over.
Who won the Houston Open in 2025
Min Woo Lee won in 2025 at 20 under, one shot ahead of Woodland and Scottie Scheffler, who tied for second at 19 under. Woodland closed with 62 that year, then came back and won by five.
That makes two straight years of Woodland finishing first or second at Memorial Park, and Lee has a win and a tie for third in the same two years. Scheffler was not in the 2026 field.
| Year | Winner | Score | Runner-up |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Gary Woodland | -21 | Nicolai Højgaard (-16) |
| 2025 | Min Woo Lee | -20 | Gary Woodland, Scottie Scheffler (-19) |
How to read the Houston Open odds when they post
An outright price is a chance. +2500 implies 3.8%, +5000 implies 2.0%, and +300 implies 25.0%, before the book’s margin is taken out. An outright is worth a bet only when you rate the golfer’s chance higher than the price does.
Placement markets (top 5, top 10, top 20) pay less and cash more often, which suits a course where the 2026 winning margin was five shots and a single round can decide the week. For how every golf market is settled, see our golf betting guide.
