The Texas Children's Houston Open is a PGA Tour event formerly known as the "Houston Open." Since its debut in 1946 at River Oaks Country Club, it has moved to several venues, including Memorial Park (1947, 1951-1963), Champions Golf Club (1966), The Woodlands (1975-2002), and the Golf Club of Houston (2003-2019). Due to scheduling issues, the event was postponed in 2019 and returned to the Memorial Park Municipal Golf Course in 2020. Recent sponsors include Hewlett-Packard (2022) and Cadence Bank (2023). In 2024, Texas Children's Hospital became the title sponsor, and the event was moved to March in a calendar-year format on the PGA Tour.
