The 2026 Houston Open has kicked off at Memorial Park Golf Course in Texas, with a promising parlay that could return almost $18,000 for a $10 bettor. Defending champion Min Woo Lee leads the field at +1300, after Scottie Scheffler's withdrawal on Tuesday. Other contenders include Chris Gotterup at +1800, Jake Knapp at +2000, and Sam Burns and Brooks Koepka at +2200.

Tony Finau, a previous winner of the tournament in 2022, is expected to make a strong comeback with a Top 5 finish at +1200. The Houston Open has seen some close finishes in recent years, with the last two editions decided by a single stroke.

Brooks Koepka has been making a comeback after a rough start to his PGA Tour return, with top 20 finishes in each of his last three starts. His chances of finishing in the Top 5 are now at +510, as part of a promising parlay suggested by SportsLine's proprietary model.

The inclusion of Brooks Koepka in the parlay is an intriguing one, given his recent resurgence in form. If he can maintain his current momentum, it could be a significant boost to the parlay's chances of returning nearly $18,000.
