Coming off an entertaining WGC Match Play event the tour heads east to Houston for the Shell Houston Open. Surprisingly enough with this being a week before the Masters we will see a star studded field. J.B. Holmes will be set to defend his title from 2015 against the likes of Jordan Spieth, Sergio Garcia, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler.
Course: Golf Club of Houston (Tournament),*7,441 yards, par 72. The 2005 Rees Jones design, with David Toms consulting, celebrates its 10th year as the lead-in venue for the Masters and earns praise for its ability to replicate Augusta National’s setup. Built*across a wooded landscape in Houston’s suburbs, Jones took care to preserve the natural lakes and wetlands throughout the layout. For this event, though,*club officials have done well to deliver shaved banks, collection areas around the greens and a Stimpmeter reading of 13 or more.
Prize Money:
Purse: $6,800,000
Winning Share: $1,224,000
FedExCup Points: 500
Will we see a repeat winner, a Top 10 player or a new face make their first PGA title prior to the Masters? The hype will be there along with the play.
