The first move in the Texas two-step is this week’s Texas Children’s Houston Open. This is the 12th event on the PGA Tour’s 2026 schedule and the second-to-last tournament before the Masters. For those not yet in the field for Augusta National, a win this week would secure that trip.
A win at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston would also bring the winner some serious money. Here’s a look at the purse and first-place prize money for the Houston Open.
The total purse for the 2026 Texas Children’s Houston Open is $9.9 million.
