Both players are making their final starts before the Masters. ... Scheffler was runner-up in the Houston Open last year. McIlroy last played the tournament in 2014. ... The field has 19 of the top 50 in the world ranking. ... This is the final week for players not already eligible to move into the top 50 and become eligible for the Masters. Among those just outside the top 50 and playing in the Houston Open are Ben Griffin and Michael Kim. ... Wyndham Clark is playing, giving the field three of the top 10 in the world. Clark withdrew in the second round of The Players Championship with a neck injury. ... Former PGA champion Jimmy Walker is playing on a sponsor exemption. He has been primarily playing on the European tour since last fall.

Next week: Valero Texas Open.
