Can Tony Finau defend his title at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open? Odds explored

Tony Finau won the Houston Open in 2022. The then 32-year-old golfer claimed his fifth PGA Tour title beating runner-up Tyson Alexander by 4 strokes. Notably, the event was dropped from the PGA Tour schedule in 2023. Owing to this, Finau now returns to the event as the defending champion, two years later.

The Texas Children’s Houston Open, previously the Cadence Bank Houston Open, is taking place at the Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston. The event will see a 144-player field compete for the $9,100,000 prize purse. Finau will return to defend the title this weekend and is one of the favorites. The six-time PGA Tour winner comes into the weekend with +2200 odds, according to SportsLine.

The defending champion sits behind the likes of Scottie Scheffler (+260), Wyndham Clark (+1200), Will Zalatoris (+2000) and Sahith Theegala (+2000) on the Houston Open odds list. It is pertinent to note that the event has a stacked field, featuring 10 of the top 50-ranked golfers.

Having missed the cut at last week’s Valspar Championship, the World No. 30 will be eyeing a strong comeback in Houston. Finau will tee off Round 1 of the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open on Thursday at 1:53 pm ET. Si Woo Kim and Wyndham Clark will join him on the first tee.
