2008 Media Credentials Request

Click here for media credentials eligibility information

The Shell Houston Open will be played the week of March 31-April 6, 2008. Responding through this website is for accreditation only and does not necessarily ensure that the credentials requested will be automatically granted. All media requests now go through a more detailed, but user-friendly, registration program provided by the PGA TOUR. Email and mail requests are no longer accepted. To begin the registration process click the link below. Or paste this url in your browser:

When you reach the site you will be asked to identify yourself. If you are registering on this system for the first time, you must click on the register link first to set up an "account."  Fill out the information fields on the screen. Approval of your "account" usually takes about an hour. Once your ID and Password are approved, you can re-enter the site and register. Note: One individual (sports editor, assignment editor, sports director, producer) per media outlet should make the credential request for all staffers who will be covering the event.

Once your request has been received and approved, you will be emailed a .pdf file that can be printed out and used to gain you access to the Houston Golf Association office to receive credentials. All credentials must be picked up at the Houston Golf Association office. No credentials will be mailed.

Please notice additional tournament information on the Media Center sub-navigation bar and on the Media Center navigation banner on the upper left portion of this page.
