Texas Children’s Houston Open 2025 Field update: Erik Van Rooyen withdraws, new golfers step in

The Texas Children's Houston Open is next week on the PGA Tour. It has a stacked field full of top-ranked competitors ready to fight it out after last weekend's thrilling Valspar Championship.

Since the posting of this tweet, a few players have come and gone from the field. Brian Campbell withdrew, and Aaron Baddeley took his place. Andrew Putnam was replaced by Bronson Burgoon, and Carson Young withdrew with Anders Albertson taking his place.

Additionally, Erik van Rooyen dropped out, while Philip Knowles and Vince Covello got added to the field thanks to an exemption either from Q-School or the DP World Tour.

It is not a Signature Event, marking two weeks in a row that the PGA Tour is playing a standard, full-field event. Despite that, it is not lacking in top-end talent in the field. Here's the full field per the Tour's communications page.

The field is highlighted by World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who is going for his fourth top-10 finish at this event. He's joined by World No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who is in the field for the first time in more than a decade.

Other stars ready to play the Houston Open include:

• Jacob Bridgeman
• Wyndham Clark
• Eric Cole
• Jason Day
• Tony Finau
• Rickie Fowler
• Nick Hardy
• Padraig Harrington
• Beau Hossler
• Zach Johnson
• Sungjae Im
• Michael Kim
• Si Woo Kim
• Jake Knapp
• Min Woo Lee
• Peter Malnati
• Maverick McNealy
• Aldrich Potgieter
• Adam Schenk
• J.J. Spaun
• Nick Taylor
• Sahith Theegala
• Danny Willett

Stephan Jaeger, the defending champion, is not in the field. Scheffler finished T2 last year.

Odds for Houston Open revealed

Unsurprisingly, Scottie Scheffler is the top candidate to win the Texas Children's Houston Open. He's the World No. 1, so if he's in the field, he's likely to be predicted as the winner despite having zero wins in 2025.
