      All-time greatest shots from Texas Children's Houston Open

      Written by Staff, PGATOUR.COM

      The PGA TOUR heads to Houston for the Texas Children's Houston Open, contested at Memorial Park Golf Course. Stephan Jaeger returns to defend his title from 2024 where he denied Scottie Scheffler earning a third win from three starts. Rory McIlroy will make his first start at the Texas Children's Houston Open since 2014.

      The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields, based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.

      Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all Full-Field Events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.

      Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
