Ireland’s Seamus Power will participate in this weekend’s Texas Children’s Houston Open after a couple of withdrawals from the event, most notably Scottie Scheffler, the world number one.<\/p>\n

Scheffler’s wife Meredith is due to give birth to the couple’s second baby imminently, which prompted the World No. 1 to pull out of the tournament in his home state.<\/p>\n

The PGA Tour confirmed that Bud Cauley has also withdrawn with Power and Matt Kuchar taking up the spaces for the event at the Memorial Park Golf Course.<\/p>\n

Scheffler finished in a tie for second in both 2024 and 2025.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Austin Smotherman, Cam Davis , Ryo Hisatsune, Michael Kim and Matt McCarty all pulled out of the event, with Jimmy Stanger, Jesper Svensson, Danny Willett, Paul Waring and Doug Ghim taking their places.<\/p>\n

Power finished tied-30th at last week’s Valspar Championship<\/a>, his second best finish from seven starts this season, the best being his 11th place finish at the Farmer’s Insurance Open in Torrey Pines in late January.<\/p>\n
