2026 Houston Open Betting & DFS Preview, Early Masters Talk

About this episode

Andy previews the 2026 Houston Open, discussing betting strategies, DFS insights, and early Masters considerations.

In this episode of Inside Golf Podcast, Andy previews the 2026 Houston Open at Memorial Park for betting and DFS, recapping a tough Valspar week and plugging a recent Course Vault podcast. He breaks down how the Tom Doak redesign has evolved—low rough penalties, increased driver usage, and an easier short game—creating a more “Augusta-like” setup since the move to March. He outlines the key stats to target (distance, long-iron play, short game, and putting), discusses expected scoring, and highlights early model standouts led by Scottie Scheffler and Min Woo Lee. He also notes the low course-history correlation and explains why Memorial Park could be a strong bounce-back spot for Scheffler heading into the Masters.
