2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open: Weather Reports Explored

The PGA Tour’s weather hex seems to finally be lifting. After enduring back-to-back delays, postponements, and cancellations caused due to weather setbacks that started at the second signature event of the season, nature will be hopefully be showing little to no mercy at the Texas-based event.

The weather reports for the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open’s scheduled from March 28-31 indicate that this time things might be different. With a $9.1 million prize purse up for grabs, will weather be feasible for the weekend in Houston?

Will the weather be windy at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open?

The weather is forecasted to remain dry throughout the tournament, with very little chance of rainfall. However, southerly winds starting Friday until the end of the event remain a matter of grave concern. The expected winds can make it difficult for the golfers to keep the trajectory of the ball in the desired direction and speed.

Starting Thursday, sunny skies are expected to shine upon the excited fans and players present on the greens. The winds are expected to blow in the east-southeast direction on Day 1 at a speed of 5 to 10 mph. There is just an 8% chance of precipitation.

Moving on to Day 2, the mercy of nature is supposed to linger. With the temperature set at 78°F, it is expected to remain mostly clear. However, the southerly winds will gain pervasive focus from Friday to Sunday and blow at a fast speed of 15 to 25mph. The third day is predicted to have partly cloudy skies. The temperature will go as high as 82°F, whereas the chances of precipitation remain stagnant at 7%.

On Sunday, the Tour and its fans might face a little hurdle in the form of an overcast. Like the preceding events, it is possible that the dark clouds will impede vision on the day of the final round of the event. There will also be increased chances of rainfall, set strongly at 17%. With the weather looking better this weekend, who are the golfers who will be ready to cash in the clearer skies?

Who are some of the PGA Tour sensations embellishing the Memorial Park Golf Course?

The Texas Children’s event will feature some of the brightest stars on the course. The field is set to be embellished with the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Saheeth Theegala, Si Woo Kim, Alex Noren, Tony Finau, and more! The field is set, but there are a few names that the players will miss this year. Some of the names that have opted out of the tournament may be to practice for the Masters: Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, and Viktor Hovland.

One player that everyone will be eyeing at the event is definitely the world number one golfer. It is highly likely that if the cards align, Scheffler can grab the winner’s cut from the hefty prize purse. After all, his recent win at Bay Hill, coupled with his historic enigma at TPC Sawgrass, makes it just natural for the fans to hope for his third win.

As per the weather reports, the event will likely not face any natural hurdles that a few previous events, such as the WM Pheonix Open, At&T Pebble Beach Pro-AM, Puerto Rico Open, and others, had to undergo! Who will win the event and who will succumb to the pressure remains a question only time can answer.
