2014 Shell Houston Open - Vegas Betting Odds, Free Picks + Tee Times

The 2014 Shell Houston Open will take place the week before the 2014 Masters. With it being the week before the Masters, it's difficult to say how the field will shape up. Some players enjoy playing in competition the week prior to a Major, while others prefer to take the week off to practice and mentally prepare for the upcoming challenge.

The Shell Houston Open understands their position in the schedule, and does its best to simulate playing conditions at Augusta. Certainly it won't be exact, but with the green speeds at Redstone Golf Club they are able to give players a similar test. It's not easy taking place seven days before the opening round of a Major, but formulating playing conditions geared towards specific shots is enticing.

As has been the theme this year, the Golf Channel + NBC are combining forces to bring live coverage of the 2014 Shell Houston Open. Thursday + Friday rounds will be exclusively covered by the Golf Channel with action starting at 3pm ET and ending at 6pm ET. Both Golf Channel + NBC will have coverage of the weekend rounds however they will NOT overlap as they have while covering the last few tournaments. Saturday + Sunday action gets started on the Golf Channel at 1pm ET until NBC takes over at 3pm ET with live coverage until the end of play.
