After a week south of the border, the PGA Tour returns to the states for the Cadence Bank Houston Open in Houston, Texas.
Three of the world’s top 15 players, including No. 2 Scottie Scheffler, are set to tee off Thursday at Memorial Park Golf Course. Scheffler, who finished in a tie for third at Mayakoba last Sunday, is the betting favorite at +550. His good buddy Sam Burns is next in line at +1200 before Tony Finau and Aaron Wise come in at +1500.
Last season, LIV Golf’s Jason Kokrak won by two shots over Kevin Tway and Scheffler.
With a win this week, Scheffler would return to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
