The Texas Children's Houston Open is a professional golf tournament in Texas on the PGA Tour, played in March. As a part of a restructuring of the schedule, the event moved to the fall in 2019. Because the tour year starts the previous fall, the event was not a part of the 2019 PGA Tour, but was one of the first events of the 2020 PGA Tour.{{cite news |url=http://www.startribune.com/astros-owner-takes-control-of-houston-open/485274771/ |title=Houston Open moves to fall in 2019; no word about Twin Cities event |newspaper=Star Tribune |first=Doug |last=Ferguson |agency=Associated Press |date=June 12, 2018}} It is held at the Memorial Park Municipal Golf Course in Harris County near downtown Houston and the Galleria.

History

The event was played at several Houston venues until the 1970s, starting {{Years or months ago|1946}} at River Oaks Country Club in 1946 before moving to Memorial Park Golf Course in 1947 and, after a year off, moving again to Pine Forest Country Club in 1949 and BraeBurn Country Club in 1950. After this period of wandering, the tournament settled in at Memorial Park from 1951 through 1963. It was at Sharpstown Country Club in 1964 and 1965, moved to Champions Golf Club in 1966 for six years, and then to Westwood Country Club in 1972.

The tournament ventured outside of the city limits in 1973 and 1974 at Quail Valley Country Club in Missouri City, a southwest suburb.{{cite news |url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1974/05/12/page/68/article/dave-hill-melnyk-in-houston-lead-at-137 |work=Chicago Tribune |agency=wire services |title=Dave Hill, Melnyk in Houston lead at 137 |date=May 12, 1974 |page=4, sec. 3}} It relocated north to The Woodlands in 1975, at Woodlands Country Club until 1984, then at the TPC at The Woodlands through 2002. It moved to near Humble in 2003, where it stayed for 17 years; initially played at the Members Course, it changed to the Tournament Course in 2006. The facility was known as Redstone Golf Club until December 2013, and is now the Golf Club of Houston.{{cite news |url=http://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/article/Around-sports-Redstone-Golf-Club-undergoes-name-5043369.php |newspaper=Houston Chronicle |agency=staff and wire reports |title=Around sports: Redstone Golf Club undergoes name change |date=December 6, 2013 |access-date=March 31, 2016}}{{cite web |url=http://www.golfchannel.com/news/travel-insider/houston-pga-tour-host-redstone-golf-club-receives-name-change-new-ownership/ |title=Houston PGA Tour host Redstone Golf Club receives name change by new ownership |last=Bailey |first=Mike |date=December 9, 2013 |access-date=March 31, 2016}}

Previously held weeks later in mid-spring, the Houston Open was played the week before the Masters Tournament from 2007 through 2018 (except 2013, when it was two weeks before the Masters), and was the last chance to get into the field at Augusta through a win. The tournament also had up to four additional sponsor exemptions to enable nonmember Masters-qualified professionals from the top 100 of the Official World Golf Ranking to compete in the U.S. in the week prior to the Masters.{{cite web |url=https://playersupport.pgatourhq.com/Tour/PLP/playersupportinforegistration.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/domino/OpenAttachment/Tour/PLP/playersupportinforegistration.nsf/C727DB7A7733806285257CC50066F582/pgAttachments/2015-16%20PGA%20TOUR%20Handbook%20&%20Regulations%20-%20Final.pdf |title=2015–16 PGA Tour Player Handbook & Tournament Regulations |date=October 5, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160412192428/https://playersupport.pgatourhq.com/Tour/PLP/playersupportinforegistration.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/domino/OpenAttachment/Tour/PLP/playersupportinforegistration.nsf/C727DB7A7733806285257CC50066F582/pgAttachments/2015-16%20PGA%20TOUR%20Handbook%20%26%20Regulations%20-%20Final.pdf |archive-date=April 12, 2016}}

Shell Oil Company sponsored the event from 1992 through 2017. When the end of Shell's sponsorship was announced, the PGA Tour said it would seek a new sponsor for 2018.{{cite news |url=http://bigstory.ap.org/article/57aa8aa8908343deb0c937dbb1dbc60c/shell-end-longtime-sponsorship-houston-open |title=Shell to end longtime sponsorship with Houston Open |access-date=December 11, 2016 |agency=Associated Press}} At that time, Houston Astros owner Jim Crane led a group of new sponsors who signed a five-year deal with the PGA Tour to ensure that the event stayed in Houston.{{Cite web |title=Houston Astros owner Jim Crane signs 5-year deal to save Houston Open: Report |url=https://thegolfnewsnet.com/ryan_ballengee/2018/06/11/houston-astros-owner-jim-crane-signs-5-year-deal-save-houston-open-report-109819/ |access-date=2020-10-12 |website=thegolfnewsnet.com}} The tournament is now operated under the Astros Foundation, under the umbrella Astros Golf Foundation, with a new logo inspired by the Astros' "Tequila Sunrise" uniforms of the 1980s.{{Cite magazine |date=2019-07-24 |title=Jim Crane Makes the Houston Open the Surest Bet in Golf – Proven Builder Will Not Let This Tournament Fail |url=https://www.papercitymag.com/culture/houston-open-jim-crane-transformation-memorial-park-redesign-butch-harmon/ |access-date=2020-10-12 |magazine=PaperCity Magazine}}{{Cite web |date=2018-06-12 |title=Jim Crane saves the Houston Open |url=https://thestiffshaft.com/2018/06/12/jim-crane-saves-the-houston-open/ |access-date=2020-10-12 |website=The Stiff Shaft}}

Because of the wraparound calendar, there was no 2019 season event. The 2019 event moved to October and declared a 2020 season event, the last event held at the Golf Club of Houston. For the 2021 season (November 2020), it moved to the renovated Memorial Park Golf Course.{{cite web |url=https://abc13.com/community-events/astros-golf-foundation-unveils-2019-houston-open-dates-/5089274/ |title=Astros Golf Foundation unveils 2019 Houston Open dates |work=KTRK-TV |date=2018-01-16 |access-date=2019-01-30 |df=mdy-all}} The Astros Foundation committed $34 million to renovate and redesign the golf course facilities with input from golfer Brooks Koepka. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the PGA Tour announced schedule changes to the 2020–21 season schedule and moved the Houston Open to November 5–8, one week before the Masters Tournament. The tournament was sponsored by Vivint and the Astros Foundation allowed spectators.

The 2022 season (November 2021) event was sponsored by Hewlett Packard Enterprise.{{Cite web |title=Astros Golf Foundation and PGA Tour partner with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to sponsor the Houston Open in 2021 |url=https://www.pgatour.com/company/2021/11/01/astros-golf-foundation-pga-tour-partner-with-hewlett-packard-enterprise-sponsor-houston-open.html |date=1 November 2021 |publisher=PGA Tour}}
