The PGA Tour heads to the Lone Star State for the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open, the first of two events in Texas leading up to the Masters.

The 2025 Houston Open first-round tee times begin on Thursday at 8:20 a.m. ET. 

According to the latest 2025 Houston Open odds, Scheffler is the +330 favorite (risk $100 to win $330) followed by McIlroy at 7-1. There is a significant dropoff before the next group of Houston Open contenders that features Aaron Rai (28-1), J.J. Spaun (33-1), Davis Thompson (33-1), Jason Day (35-1) and Tony Finau (35-1).
