Featured tee time for Round 1

At this week’s Texas Children’s Houston Open, there’s a lot on the line for Rickie Fowler. The six-time PGA Tour winner is currently on the outside looking in when it comes to the 2026 Masters. But there are two ways Fowler can earn a last-minute invite to Augusta National this week.

To earn a Masters tee time in two weeks, Fowler could finish well enough at the Houston Open to move in to the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Currently, he sits at 61st in the OWGR.

The other way he can make it to the Masters? By winning this week. The Houston Open champion will earn a Masters invite.

Fowler is set to tee off for the opening round on Thursday at 8:42 a.m. ET alongside Shane Lowry and Wyndham Clark.
