Draftkings Best 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open DFS Picks
Breaking down the best Draftkings picks for the 2024 Texas Children's Houston Open.
This week, the PGA Tour travels to Texas for the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open. Let’s take a look at this week’s tournament from a Draftkings perspective.
Before I dive into my Draftkings player selections for this week’s PGA Tour event, let’s take a quick look at the golf course the field will play and the key player statistics that I think are the most vital to a player’s success at this week’s Texas Children’s Houston Open.
Where will the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open be Played?
The 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open will be played at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, Texas. This golf course is a par 70 that measures approximately 7,435 yards. This track features five par five holes, wide fairways, and rather large greens. Water is in play on only four holes.
*This will be the fifth consecutive year that the Texas Children’s Houston Open has been played at the Memorial Park Golf Course.

Texas Children’s Houston Open Draftkings Player Selections
Wyndham Clark $10,900
The 2023 U.S. Open winner arrives at this week’s event on the heels of two consecutive top five finishes on the PGA Tour, including a second-place result at the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational three weeks ago.
In relation to this week’s 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open field, in the last eight rounds played on the PGA Tour, Wyndham Clark ranks first in birdie or better percentage, seventh in bogey avoidance, third in strokes gained putting, seventh in strokes gained approach, and third in GIR (greens in regulation).
Wyndham Clark has posted quality results at the Memorial Park Golf Course in the past. Clark finished 16th at the 2023 Texas Children’s Houston Open.
Mackenzie Hughes $7,800
The talented Canadian has accumulated two consecutive top 26 finishes on the PGA Tour, including a third-place result at last week’s 2024 Valspar Championship.
Due to Mackenzie Hughes posting a quality finish at the 2024 Valspar Championship, I decided to take a hard look at the player statistics for the four-day tournament to see how Hughes fared relative to the field.
After four rounds of competitive play at the 2024 Valspar Championship, in relation to the field, Hughes ranked second in strokes gained putting (10.6), 15th in strokes gained around the green (2.9), and third in total Draftkings points scored (97).
Joel Dahmen $7,100
Two weeks ago, Joel Dahmen fired a final round 68 at the 2024 Players Championship en route to an eventual 11th place result.
In relation to this week’s current listed 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open field, in the last eight rounds played on the PGA Tour, Dahmen ranks sixth in GIR (greens in regulation), second in strokes gained tee to green, and third in strokes gained approach.
It should also be noted that Joel Dahmen finished ninth at the 2023 Texas Children’s Houston Open.
Additional golfers I like to play well this week (with Draftkings price noted): Scottie Scheffler $13,000: Sahith Theegala $10,300: Jason Day $9,500: Ben Griffin: $7,600.
