The volunteers of the Houston Golf Association have been bringing PGA TOUR golf to the region for 54 years.
Players seem to have to work overtime to win in Houston.
There have been 17 playoffs over that period. Since the event moved to the Tournament Players Course at The Woodlands in 1985, eight of the 15 tournaments have resulted in sudden-death, including four of the last seven years. The University of Houston has produced a large group of multiple PGA TOUR tournament winners like Fred Couples, Steve Elkington, Bruce Lietzke, Bill Rogers, Ed Fiori, Keith Fergus, Blaine McCallister and Billy Ray Brown. However, no University of Houston golfer has ever won Houston's PGA TOUR event.
