HOUSTON, Texas  – The 2026 Texas Children’s Houston Open field is set for March 23-29 at Memorial Park Golf Course in the heart of Houston.

PGA TOUR star Brooks Koepka makes his return to Memorial Park in 2026, a course that he helped Tom Doak design. Koepka has had success at Memorial Park in the past, finishing fifth in the tournament in 2020.

Min Woo Lee is back in 2026 to defend his 2025 Texas Children’s Houston Open title, along with former champions Stephan Jaeger (2024) and Tony Finau (2022).

Also joining the field in 2026 is Rickie Fowler. Fowler, a star and fan-favorite on the TOUR, most recently won the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic. In 2026, Fowler, who played college golf at Oklahoma State, has finished in the top 20 in four of six tournaments played, including a season-high ninth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard.

2019 The Open Championship winner, Shane Lowry, is set to join the field in 2026. Lowry boasts two top 10 finishes in 2026, including a second place finish at Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches.

2023 U.S. Open Champion Wyndham Clark, Gary Woodland, winner of the 2019 U.S. Open and Jason Day, winner of the 2015 PGA Championship are all in the field for 2026.

The tournament will be televised live on Golf Channel, NBC and streamed on Peacock and available on PGA TOUR Live on ESPN+.

All the hospitality venues at the Texas Children’s Houston Open are back in 2026, with the signature hole continuing to be No. 15. Known for its lively action and stadium-type atmosphere, the Astros Golf Foundation continues to invest in making that area the ultimate fan viewing and destination area.

For the second-straight year, Aramark is the food and beverage concessionaire at the Texas Children’s Houston Open. Several local restaurants will have specialty items available throughout the course. In the Reliant Fan Village, Houston-staple El Tiempo will have select food items available. There will also be local food trucks serving on the course. Beck’s Restaurant will also be open to the public this year.

A change from previous years, the Memorial Park Pro Shop will be open during tournament week. Including the Memorial Park Shop, there will be three primary retail venues throughout the course, including the Main Merchandise Tent at the Fan Entrance near 10 green, and the Merch Tent near 7 green at the Ride Share Entrance.

Title sponsor Texas Children’s is providing the Texas Children’s Junior Clubhouse, located at hole 18. This will be an entertaining space for parents to show their kids that golf is a family-friendly environment. There is also the Texas Children’s Bunker Challenge, which allows fans to test their golf skills like a pro, located at the main entrance to the course. The Family Care Center also offers a dedicated space for changing tables, bottle warmers and private nursing areas.

New in 2026, Texas Children’s, in partnership with the Astros Golf Foundation and the PGA TOUR, launched Texas Children’s Cleats for Kids, a new initiative that will spotlight the power of sports to build awareness of Texas Children’s. As part of the program, select PGA TOUR golfers, including reigning Texas Children’s Houston Open champion Min Woo Lee, along with Gary Woodland and Brooks Koepka among others, will wear custom-designed golf shoes inspired by Texas Children’s patients during the tournament.

The Texas Children’s Houston Open is all about giving back to the community, and since 2019, the tournament has raised and distributed $24 million throughout the Houston community. That money has gone to the beneficiaries of the City of Houston, Memorial Park Conservancy, the First Tee of Greater Houston, Texas Children’s and numerous other local charities.

The Astros Golf Foundation, in partnership with the City of Houston, continues to make improvements to the golf course.  The most noticeable this year is the $1.5 million renovation to the driving range. This will not only help with the Texas Children’s Houston Open but the drainage and irrigation work was needed to keep the driving range open for Houstonians year-round. 

New in 2026 is the First Class Pass, a VIP ticket offering. The First Class Pass is a premium ticket item that provides fans an exclusive green side viewing space at all 18 holes as well as access to some hospitality suites for food and beverage.

General Admission tickets are also still available for purchase, granting access anywhere on the grounds that is open to the public. Fans can enjoy tournament viewing across all 18 holes, including several bleacher seating areas. There are also special ticket deals on general admission for kids 15 and under, college students and military.

The Venue Hopper and Venue Hopper Plus daily passes are also available, which include access to three premium venues at the most exciting holes on the course, plus all-inclusive food and non-alcoholic drinks.

2,500 fans on Saturday, March 28 will receive a clear crossbody bag, presented by Texas Children’s. On Championship Sunday, March 28, 2,500 fans will receive a fanny pack, presented by Texas Children’s.
