After a week south of the border, the PGA Tour returns to the states for the Cadence Bank Houston Open in Houston, Texas.
Three of the world’s top 15 players, including No. 2 Scottie Scheffler, are set to tee off Thursday at Memorial Park Golf Course. Scheffler, who finished in a tie for third at Mayakoba last Sunday, is the betting favorite at +550. His good buddy Sam Burns is next in line at +1200 before Tony Finau and Aaron Wise come in at +1500.
Last season, LIV Golf’s Jason Kokrak won by two shots over Kevin Tway and Scheffler.
With a win this week, Scheffler would return to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

I didn’t have Russell Henley on the card last week, but five of my six plays finished T-21 or better (three inside the top 10).
Down five units for the week (.5 unit plays on Joel Dahmen and Aaron Wise), but still up 30.5 units on the season.
If you’re interested in my full card every week, it’s posted on my Twitter sometime Wednesday afternoon. Follow me here.
