The stars will be out in the state of Texas — the Texas Children’s Houston Open, to be more exact.
The field has been set for the PGA Tour stop held at the Memorial Park Golf Course from March 23 to 29, and there is plenty of star power. Brooks Koepka, who returned to the PGA TOUR in 2026, is set to join the field, along with reigning tournament champion Min Woo Lee. Other headliners include PGA TOUR star Rickie Fowler, No. 7-ranked Chris Gotterup, No. 26-ranked Si Woo Kim, Gary Woodland, Sungjae Im, and Will Zalatoris.
Koepka returns to the Texas Children’s Houston Open for the first time since 2021. Koepka boasts nine PGA TOUR wins and returns to the TOUR after spending the last four years on the LIV Tour. Koepka is a former No. 1 player and a four-time major champion.
Koepka has a unique connection to the Texas Children’s Houston Open, as he played an instrumental part in the redesign of Memorial Park Golf Course. Alongside Astros Owner and Chairman Jim Crane, Koepka worked with world-renowned golf architect Tom Doak as a PGA Tour consultant as Memorial Park was revamped into the country’s second PGA-certified, municipally owned golf course.
Also joining the field is Fowler.
The fan-favorite most recently won the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic. Overall, he has notched six PGA TOUR victories. In 2026, Fowler, who played college golf at Oklahoma State, boasts three top-25 finishes, finishing tied for 18th at The American Express and Waste Management Phoenix Open, and tied for 19th AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Woo Lee returns to the site of his first-career PGA TOUR win at the 2025 Texas Children’s Houston Open. So far in 2026, the Australian has made the cut in all three tournaments played, and nearly won his second career tournament at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where he finished tied for second.
Gotterup, who has four PGA TOUR wins, including two already in 2026, is currently ranked first in the FedEx Cup standings. He has won the Sony Open in Hawaii. He followed that up two weeks later with a first-place finish at the WM Phoenix Open in a playoff against Hideki Matsuyama.
Woo Kim boasts four career PGA TOUR wins and currently ranks seventh in the FedEx Cup standings. The South Korea native has a season-best second-place finish at the Farmers Insurance Open.
Woodland, winner of the 2025 PGA TOUR Courage Award, finished tied for second at last year’s Texas Children’s Houston Open, his highest finish at the tournament. He has won four tournaments, including the 2019 U.S. Open.
Im has two wins on the PGA TOUR and tallied three top 10 finishes in 2025. This will be his fourth time being a part of the field for the Texas Children’s Houston Open, as he also competed in 2020, 2021 and 2025.
Zalatoris, who is coming off back surgery that shortened his 2025 season, has played in two tournaments so far in 2026, and in his first tournament since coming off back surgery, he finished tied for 18th at The American Express.
Additional players will be announced in the coming weeks as players have until March 20 to officially enter the field.
