The current champion is Carlos Ortiz with the Mexican golfer having won last year's tournament and he will head to Houston to defend in one of the PGA Tour’s longest-running host cities. 
 
To win this year’s Hewlett Packard Enterprise Houston Open, however, Ortiz will have to top a field boasting many of the game’s top players.
 
The field will include the likes of Brooks Koepka, Jimmy Walker, Gary Woodland, Patrick Reed, Shane Lowry, Francesco Molinari, Henrik Stenson, Danny Willett and Jason Day.
 
This is set to be a 132-player field, played out over four days and it will also feature former Houston Open winners, Lanto Griffin and Jim Herman.

“We’re excited to partner with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to help further the Astros Golf Foundation’s impact in the Houston community,” said PGA Tour President and EVP Tyler Dennis. 
 
“Since 1946, the Houston Open has enjoyed a rich history and the move to Memorial Park Golf Course last year set up the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Houston Open for long-standing success. 
 
"Our players enjoyed competing at Memorial Park last year and being in the heart of Houston, that Jim Crane and the Astros Golf Foundation are so passionate about.”
 
Curtis Strange and Vijay Singh are the most decorated players in the history of the Houston Open having won three titles.
