PGA Tour: Houston Open
The Houston Open will be held in Houston, Texas at the Memorial Park Golf Course. From November 11th-14th of 2021, the best male golfers around the world will compete for a total prize money of $7,500,000.
On our spotlight, we find Henrik Stenson (SWE), and his mate Henrik Norlander, currently ranked 139th of the OWGR. Sweden is the only Scandinavian country that will be representing at the PGA Tour this weekend. Not too risky to say that Viktor Hovland is tired of always winning in the PGA events and now he is leaving some for others to try.
