Events Bad Pants Open
28th Annual Bad Pants Open
Monday, October 12, 2026 | Champions Golf Club
Get ready to swing into action and putt your best foot forward at Texas Children’s 28th Annual Bad Pants Open!
Join us Monday, October 12, 2026, at Champions Golf Club for Houston's most un-fore-gettable golf tournament. Don your loud, bold, and wonderfully bad pants and help us hit a hole-in-one for a cause that truly matters.
For 28 years, the Bad Pants Open has been a cornerstone of support for the tiniest patients and their families at Texas Children’s Newborn Center. We're not just playing golf; we're chipping in for programs that provide comfort, connection, and cutting-edge care at Texas Children’s Level IV NICUs located at our campuses in the Texas Medical Center, The Woodlands, and Austin.
For more information, contact the Office of Philanthropy at 832-824-2945 or badpantsopen@texaschildrens.org.
See you at the tee!
