  • The CJ Cup Byron Nelson is May 1-4 from TPC Craig Ranch.
  • Scottie Scheffler has the best odds to win at +300.
  • Jordan Spieth, Stephan Jaeger and Scheffer have the best course history at TPC Craig Ranch.

After a unique week on the PGA Tour with the team event at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans, the Tour will return to Texas for The CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch.

The course is pretty straightforward and typically yields plenty of birdies. Normally, the longer hitters have a bit of an advantage, including Taylor Pendrith, who won a year ago.

This is the fifth year the course has hosted the event.

It isn’t an incredibly strong field, but it does have some big names, including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who is a Texas native. He has the best odds to win at +300.

Other big names teeing it up are locals Jordan Spieth and Will Zalatoris.
