The PGA Tour returns stateside this week for the Houston Open.

Sam Burns (14/1) was the 54-hole leader in Houston last year, but a 2-over final round dropped him to T-7. Burns has won two PGA Tour events (Valspar and Sanderson Farms) in 2021. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler (18/1), off a fourth last week in the Mayakoba, still seeks his first PGA Tour victory. Sungjae Im (22/1) won last month at the Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas. Cameron Smith (22/1) was finishing T-2 at the Masters this time last year. Brooks Koepka (28/1) finished T-5 here last year and served as a consultant on the redesign of this course.

Here are some players who are worth a wager this weekend.

Scottie Scheffler (18/1): Is still seeking his first PGA Tour victory, but it seems to be just a matter of time. He had a great showing at the Ryder Cup, going 2-0-1 in his matches including a singles victory over Jon Rahm. While he finished only T-32 here last year, Scheffler did close with a final-round 65 and there is no reason to doubt that he can find a couple lower rounds this week on a tough course.

Cameron Smith (22/1): Is historically a good player in the fall but has only one appearance so far this season, a ninth at the CJ Cup. In 2017, there was a fifth (CIMB Classic), third (CJ Cup), fourth (Australian Open) and first (Australian PGA Championship). The Aussie is a terrific putter on Bermuda grass as evident through wins at the 2017 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, 2017 Australian PGA Championship, 2018 Australian PGA Championship, 2020 Sony Open and 2021 Zurich Classic of New Orleans. In fact, all five of his professional worldwide wins come on Bermuda.

Adam Scott (30/1): His putter cost him the win at the Wyndham Championship in August, but it has been the best part of his game in recent months. He ranks eighth in this field for SG: Putting over the last 36 rounds. The Aussie is always a solid bet on more difficult setups where quality long iron shots are paramount for success. He is a four-time winner in Texas including this event in 2007.

Seamus Power (40/1): Became a first-time PGA Tour winner earlier this summer at the Barbasol. Over the last 36 rounds, he is No. 1 in this field for SG: Total.

Jhonattan Vegas (80/1): Despite missing the cut last week at Mayakoba, Vegas has been playing excellent golf over the last few months. He is the only player in this week’s field who rates in the top 10 for both SG: Off-The-Tee and SG: Approach.

Keith Mitchell (125/1): Missed the cut badly here last year shooting 78-76 but is in much better form this time around. He recently finished T-3 at the CJ Cup and has two other top-8 finishes in his last seven events with a fifth at the 3M Open and eighth at The Northern Trust (FedEx Cup Playoffs).

James Hahn (150/1): Has made six of seven cuts in Houston. He comes in on solid enough form with a 15th and 27th in his last two starts. Last week at Mayakoba, he bogeyed his last three holes where he should have gotten a T-11.
