With the Florida Swing now completed and only two weeks remaining before the Masters, the PGA Tour moves to Texas for the Houston Open at Memorial Park Golf Course. This course, one of the country’s premier public municipal golf facilities, is a long par-70 that measures 7,475 yards and dates back to 1912.
Both the data and the typical player field suggest that Memorial Park is one of the most favorable courses for bombers on the PGA Tour. Looking at past winners like Min Woo Lee, Stephan Jaeger, Tony Finau, and Carlos Ortiz, as well as contenders such as Scottie Scheffler, Dustin Johnson, Thomas Detry, and Alejandro Tosti, a common theme emerges: elite distance off the tee. This trend is also evident among players with a strong course history, including Taylor Pendrith, Wyndham Clark, and Keith Mitchell. Being the second-longest course on Tour, those who can overpower the layout from the tee tend to have a significant advantage.
