Let's dive into a couple of my favorite picks and Houston Open best bets for this weekend in Texas.
2025 Houston Open Best Bets
Scottie Scheffler Top 5 (-125)
Scheffler has struggled early in the season to meet his standards. However, he is in a tremendous get-right spot, returning to his home state this weekend. We see many big-name players missing from the tournament this weekend, which will bode well for this prop. Scheffler will be toward the top of the leaderboard throughout the weekend.
Scottie Scheffler Over Rory McIlroy (-150)
Once again, we will back the world's number one in a head-to-head battle this weekend. As mentioned, Scheffler is off to a slow start this season but is in a strong spot. Scheffler’s style of play is well-suited to this course, and as long as his putter is dialed in, he will find a way to win this matchup.
Tony Finau Over Michael Kim (-115) – Round One
Tony Finau has a history of strong performances at this tournament, and he should get off to a fast start. His ability to score well early makes him a great pick to outshine Michael Kim in the opening round.
Tony Finau Top 40 (-165)
Finau has consistently performed well in Houston. In 2022, he posted a -16 score for the tournament, and last year, he carded rounds of -8 and -4 at this course. I love Finau to continue his success on this course this weekend.
