Brooks Koepka has added the Texas Children's Houston Open to his 2026 PGA Tour schedule, marking his sixth event ahead of The Masters. The five-time major winner returned to the PGA Tour this year after four seasons with LIV Golf. The tournament will take place from March 26 to 29 at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston.
Brooks Koepka's return to the PGA Tour after four seasons with LIV Golf has been one of the season's notable developments. On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Koepka committed to the Texas Children's Houston Open, scheduled for March 26-29 at Houston's Memorial Park Golf Course. This addition brings his pre-Masters events to six, a number not reached since 2022 when he played eight times before Augusta.
In previous years with LIV Golf—2023, 2024, and 2025—Koepka competed in only five tournaments prior to The Masters. The Houston Open offers him a chance to test his form two weeks before the major, an opportunity limited during his LIV tenure. Defending champion Min Woo Lee is set to participate, alongside a strong field including Gary Woodland, Si Woo Kim, Rickie Fowler, Sungjae Im, Chris Gotterup, and Will Zalatoris.
World number one Scottie Scheffler has a strong history at the event, with three top-two finishes in his last four appearances, though he has not yet confirmed his participation for 2026. Koepka's season so far has shown inconsistency: he advanced past the cut at Torrey Pines despite pre-event anxiety about fan reception, but missed the cut at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Putting has remained a challenge for him.
This commitment underscores Koepka's integration back into PGA Tour events, providing competitive rounds ahead of Augusta National.
