2026 Texas Children’s Houston Open Picks: Golf Best Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

The PGA TOUR heads to Memorial Park (par 70, 7,475 yards, Poa trivialis greens) in Houston for the Texas Children’s Houston Open. Memorial Park has hosted the last five Houston Opens and Min Woo Lee (-20) is the defending champion. There will be 133 golfers competing this week and a top-65 and ties cut after the first two rounds.

Below, I have featured my two favorite bets for the Texas Children’s Houston Open on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Brooks Koepka for a top-10 finish including ties (+245)

Koepka is in convincing form right now. The 36-year-old has finished T9th, T13th and T18th in his last three starts. Koepka gained strokes on approach at all these events and he gained strokes with his putter in two of these starts. Koepka leads the entire PGA TOUR in SG APP this season and his putter coming alive is a terrific sign.

Koepka finished T5th at Memorial Park in 2021 – including back-to-back 5-under 65s to close out the event – and this isn’t his only high finish in Texas. Koepka has finished inside the top-five twice at the AT&T Byron Nelson, he finished runner-up at the 2018 Charles Schwab Challenge and he finished runner-up at the 2017 Valero Texas Open. Koepka ranks first among this field in strokes gained per round in Texas by a comfortable margin and he should finish high on the leaderboard this week, which is his final tune-up before the Masters.

Hank Lebioda for a top-40 finish including ties (+245)

Lebioda finished T15th in his lone start at Memorial Park in 2021 and his game is trending up right now. Lebioda has made four cuts in a row and he has finished inside the top-40 twice during this streak. Lebioda has shot under par in eight of his past 12 rounds and he just finished a season-best T14th at the Valspar Championship last week.

Lebioda carded a 4-under 67 in the final round and the lefty was on fire with his irons, leading the field in SG APP and ranking third in GIR at the Copperhead Course. If Lebioda can carry this form as a ball striker over to Memorial Park, he will have no issues finishing inside the top-40.
