I know it's been discussed a bunch on here but is this really happening? Is that what all the utility/parking work is bring done around Memorial Park right now for? Anyone have a credible source other than "heard it from my buddy"?

Credible source other than "heard it from a buddy"? Well I heard it from an "anonymous source" AND a "senior official". So there you go.

This rumor was around over 20 years ago when the tournament was still at TPC Woodlands. Houston has wanted to get the tournament back inside the loop forever but then realizes that Memorial is not the answer.

The bigger issue for the Houston Open is they still don't have a title sponsor. Shell is gone; and they've asked nearly everyone in town.

I have no doubt they'll land a sponsor assuming it stays at a premier venue. If it goes to the **** hole in memorial Park..... Maybe Becks Prime can sponsor it. Thinking about the potential demise of this tournament saddens me. We will go from one of the best non major fields to an absolute after thought ala Puerto Rico open

Tillman will step in rename it the Lake Chuck Open and move it to his course at the Golden Nugget.

if it goes to Memorial, maybe we can pool together $100 and have it called the TexAgs Golf Board Houston Open

Well looks like back to GC of Houston at least for next year. No word on sponsor yet.

It will be at GCOH for 2018 and they're nowhere near a sponsor. They have the finances to run the tournament for 1 year without a sponsor, then they're screwed if they don't find one.

No one has $10MM they want to throw down, especially not knowing where the tournament is going after 2018.
And HGA doesn't have the smartest collection of people running the show.

60% of the field would be no shows.
