Scheffler, McIlroy Lead 2025 Houston Open Field

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, the top two ranked golfers globally, headline the Texas Children's Houston Open from March 27-30 at Memorial Park Golf Course. Scheffler, who has two second-place finishes and a ninth place in his last three appearances here, aims for his first victory of 2025. McIlroy, returning after 11 years, uses this event to prepare for the Masters, following his recent win at The Players Championship. The tournament, with a $9.5 million purse and potential Masters qualification for the winner, is a crucial stop before the Masters. Other notable participants include Jason Day, Tony Finau, and sponsor exemptions such as Padraig Harrington and Zach Johnson. Both Scheffler and McIlroy will aim to fine-tune their performances ahead of the major event at Augusta National Golf Club.
