HOUSTON \u2013 The Texas Children\u2019s Houston Open is back in town this week, bringing top golfers to Memorial Park<\/a> and supporting the community beyond the course.<\/p>\n

Joining KPRC 2 in-studio Sunday morning was the President of the Astros Golf Foundation, Giles Kibbe, to explain why hosting the tournament in the center of the city matters for Houstonians, and how the event continues to give back locally.<\/p>\n

Kibbe also shared how the tournament helps support Texas Children\u2019s Hospital, the largest children\u2019s hospital in the US, including programs and care that benefit kids and families across our area. <\/p>\n

\u201cAll the proceeds from the tournament go to the Astros Golf Foundation. We partner with Texas Children\u2019s to help them. We have a program there\u2014the nuero-oncology group\u2014that\u2019s a great synergy with the Astros Golf Foundation which fights children\u2019s cancer,” Kibbe said.<\/p>\n

For viewers unfamiliar with golf, he outlined what fans can expect during tournament week\u2014from the on-course action to the overall experience at Memorial Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really exciting venue. Memorial Park is such a big place. The golf course as well. We do a lot of things with Texas Children\u2019s, there are activations with all of our sponsors throughout the grounds. It\u2019s a lot of fun just to watch the best players in the world play golf, and we have some great entertainment there, so it\u2019s fun for everyone,\u201d Kibbe said.<\/p>\n

The Texas Children\u2019s Houston Open runs from March 23-29.<\/p>\n
