After a month in Florida, the PGA Tour now moves to Texas for the 2026 Houston Open. With the Masters in the not too distant future, here are the three golfers we like this week the most.
One golfer not on the list is world number one Scottie Scheffler. Even though Scheffler has been a regular at the Houston Open in recent years, and has had prior success (second in 2021, 2024 and 2025), he is not competing this week as his wife Meredith is soon to give birth to their second child.
Min Woo Lee
The betting favourite may be a bit of a surprise this week as it is Min Woo Lee of Perth, Australia, the defending champion. Lee had a winning score of -20 a year ago, for his first PGA Tour win. Lee’s -20 is the second best four round score at the Houston Open of all-time. The only golfer with a better score was Fiji’s Vijay Singh, who had a -22 in 2002. There are currently three Australians ranked in the top 60 in the Official World Golf Rankings, with Lee ranked 31st.
Tony Finau
Like Lee, Finau is on the list because of his past success in Houston. Finau was victorious in 2022 as he won the tournament with a score of -16, and then tied for second place with Scheffler in 2024.
Jake Knapp
A combination of effective putting and driving is required to be effective this week. There is a feeling by many that the world number 42 could bounce back this weekend after missing the cut at the Players Championship. In 2026, Knapp had four top-eight finishes prior to his disappointing result at Sawgrass.
