Gary Woodland's emotional victory at the 2026 Texas Children's Houston Open, his first PGA Tour win since brain surgery, capped a tournament at demanding Memorial Park Golf Course where ball-strikers with strong course history dominated the top 20. Pre-event trader sentiment shifted after Scottie Scheffler's withdrawal for family reasons and Aaron Rai's neck injury WD, elevating defending champion Min Woo Lee (T3) and past winners like Stephan Jaeger. Favorable weather aided low scores, with Woodland's 67.4 career scoring average here proving pivotal; top 20 finishers emphasized strokes-gained approach and driving distance on the long par-70 layout, amid a field featuring Sam Burns and Tony Finau.
