Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, ranked 1 and 2 in the Official World Golf Ranking, are committed to the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open.

With the Valspar Championship concluding in Florida on Sunday, Texas will next host back-to-back PGA Tour stops, the final two tournaments before the Masters.

Scheffler has two second-place ties and a tie for ninth in his last three visits to Houston.

McIlroy, who won the Players Championship in a Monday finish six days ago, is back in action after a week off. He'll make his first appearance in Houston in 11 years.
