The Byron Nelson
THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour, held annually in May at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. Named after the legendary American golfer Byron Nelson, who secured 52 PGA Tour victories and five major championships including two Masters titles (1937, 1942), one U.S. Open (1939), and two PGA Championships (1940, 1945), the event honors his legacy as one of the sport's pioneers who popularized the modern swing technique.[1][2][3] The tournament's history dates back to 1926, when it debuted as the Dallas Open, one of the earliest events in what would become the PGA Tour. After a hiatus during the Great Depression, it returned in 1944 as the Texas Victory Open to support wartime efforts, before being renamed the Dallas Invitation in 1946 to honor Byron Nelson's record-setting 1945 season, in which he won 11 consecutive tournaments—a record that still stands.[1][4] In 1968, it officially became the Byron Nelson Golf Classic, reflecting its growing association with the Salesmanship Club of Dallas, and has since undergone multiple sponsorship changes, including AT&T (2015–2023) and CJ Group (since 2024), while remaining a fixture in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.[1][5] Renowned for its birdie-friendly layout and high-scoring potential, the modern iteration at TPC Craig Ranch—its home since 2021—features a par-71 course measuring over 7,400 yards that has produced record-low totals, such as Scottie Scheffler's 31-under-par 253 in 2025, tying the PGA Tour's 72-hole scoring mark.[6][7] Beyond competition, the event stands out for its philanthropy; since 1968, it has raised over $190 million (as of 2025) for the Momentous Institute, a leading organization providing mental health services to children and families in North Texas, making it one of the Tour's most impactful charitable platforms.[8][9]History
Origins and Early Years
The origins of The Byron Nelson golf tournament trace back to the Dallas Open, first held in 1926 at Cedar Crest Country Club and won by MacDonald Smith. The tournament then went on hiatus during the Great Depression until resuming in September 1944 as the Dallas Victory Open (also known as the Texas Victory Open), organized to support the U.S. war effort by promoting war bond sales, with a total purse of approximately $10,000 paid in bonds. Held at Lakewood Country Club in Dallas, the inaugural 72-hole stroke play competition was won by Texas native Byron Nelson, who finished 10 strokes ahead of the field with a score of 276, earning $2,000 in war bonds as the top prize. Nelson's victory marked one of 10 PGA Tour wins that year, including his famous streak of 11 consecutive triumphs in 1945, which later inspired the tournament's naming in his honor.[10][11][12] Early postwar editions solidified the tournament's place on the PGA Tour schedule, though it faced another hiatus from 1947 to 1955 due to postwar economic challenges and PGA Tour scheduling issues. In 1945, at Dallas Country Club, Sam Snead claimed victory with a score of 276, four strokes better than runner-up Jug McSpaden. The 1946 event moved to Brook Hollow Golf Club, where Ben Hogan won by two shots over Nelson with a total of 278. Snead secured another title in 1949 at Glen Lakes Country Club, shooting a course-record 264 to finish 20 under par. These years featured modest purses—typically $10,000 to $15,000—and drew top professionals, establishing the event as a key Texas stop amid the sport's postwar boom.[13][14][15] The tournament resumed in 1956 as the Dallas Centennial Tournament at Lakewood Country Club, where it was primarily hosted through 1962, before shifting to other Dallas-area courses like Preston Trail Golf Club in 1963 and into the 1960s. Nelson remained actively involved as a promoter and ambassador, leveraging his local roots and legendary status to boost attendance and prestige, while the event's format stayed consistent as a 72-hole stroke play affair. This period saw growing fields and incremental purse increases, reflecting the PGA Tour's expansion, though it remained focused on competitive golf rather than large-scale charity until later developments.[16][17][1]Sponsorship and Name Changes
In 1968, the tournament was renamed the Byron Nelson Golf Classic by the Salesmanship Club of Dallas to honor the legendary golfer's contributions to the sport and his longstanding commitment to youth charities, marking the first PGA Tour event named after a professional golfer.[12][18] The event's sponsorship history reflects evolving corporate partnerships that have shaped its identity while preserving Nelson's name. From 1968 to 1987, it operated simply as the Byron Nelson Golf Classic without a title sponsor. GTE became the first title sponsor in 1988, rebranding it the GTE Byron Nelson Classic until 2000, after which Verizon briefly held the title in 2001–2002 following a corporate merger. EDS sponsored the tournament from 2003 to 2008 as the EDS Byron Nelson Championship, transitioning to Hewlett-Packard (HP) in 2009 after HP's acquisition of EDS, with HP continuing through 2014. AT&T assumed title sponsorship in 2015, naming it the AT&T Byron Nelson until 2023.[19][5] These sponsorships have significantly boosted the tournament's financial scale, with the purse growing from $300,000 in 1980 to $9.9 million in 2025, enabling larger fields and enhanced production.[20] In 2024, South Korea-based CJ Group secured a 10-year title sponsorship, rebranding the event as The CJ Cup Byron Nelson to integrate its global branding—previously associated with a Korean PGA Tour stop—while retaining Byron Nelson's name to uphold the tournament's heritage.[5][21] Under CJ Group's sponsorship, the event has gained elevated prestige, achieving Signature Event status on the PGA Tour in 2025 with an expanded $9.9 million purse and attracting elite fields, including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who claimed victory that year.[22][23]Venue
Current Course: TPC Craig Ranch
TPC Craig Ranch is located in McKinney, Texas, a suburb northeast of Dallas, and serves as the primary venue for The Byron Nelson since 2021.[24] The course, designed by Tom Weiskopf with input from PGA Tour player consultant D.A. Weibring, opened in 2004 as a private facility within the TPC Network, which is operated by the PGA Tour.[25][26] The layout is an 18-hole, par-71 championship course stretching 7,569 yards, featuring bentgrass greens and Zoysia fairways that wind through rolling hills.[27][28] Water hazards come into play on 13 holes, adding strategic elements, while the design emphasizes birdie chances, with recent tournaments showing an average scoring of about 1.87 strokes under par per round.[29][30] The tournament follows the PGA Tour's standard 72-hole stroke-play format over four days in May, preceded by a pro-am on Wednesday.[24] The 2025 edition at TPC Craig Ranch produced record-low scoring, highlighted by winner Scottie Scheffler's 31-under-par total of 253, tying the PGA Tour's 72-hole scoring record, amid firm greens from a 2023 resurfacing that favored aggressive play.[7][31] As part of the TPC Network, the course is maintained to PGA Tour standards, with a crowd-friendly layout that supports large attendances exceeding 200,000 over the event week.[32][33] Following the 2025 tournament, a major $22 million renovation led by Lanny Wadkins began, including redesigned bunkers, reshaped greens, upgraded irrigation, and improved drainage to enhance playability and spectator experience.[34][35] TPC Craig Ranch holds Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary certification, reflecting commitments to environmental stewardship such as wildlife habitat protection, recycling programs, and water conservation through efficient irrigation and native landscaping.[36][29][26]Historical Venues
The Byron Nelson tournament's venue history reflects its evolution in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with changes driven by growing field sizes (from around 100 players early on to 156 today), spectator capacity, and support for charity initiatives.

Format and Organization
Tournament Structure and Schedule
THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson follows the standard PGA Tour format of 72-hole stroke play contested over four days, typically Thursday through Sunday in early May. After the second round, a cut is made to the top 65 players and ties, who advance to compete in the final 36 holes on Saturday and Sunday. This structure ensures a competitive weekend field while maintaining the tournament's pace within the tour calendar. The event's schedule begins with preparatory activities earlier in the week, including practice rounds and a pro-am on Monday and Tuesday, followed by charity-focused events on Wednesday.[41] In 2025, the tournament was held May 1–4 at TPC Craig Ranch, occupying the slot immediately following the Masters Tournament in April.[42] The field consists of 156 players, comprising PGA Tour members, sponsor exemptions, and select top performers from preceding events, with no alternates added after the cut to replace those eliminated.[6] Ties after 72 holes are resolved via a sudden-death playoff beginning on the 18th hole and rotating through designated holes thereafter. Prior to the early 2000s, aggregate-score playoffs over multiple holes were occasionally employed instead. The 2025 purse totaled $9.9 million, with the winner receiving $1.782 million, and the event awards FedEx Cup points on a standard scale of 500 to the champion.[43] In 1994, the tournament was shortened to 54 holes due to weather, marking a rare deviation from the full format.Field Qualification and Charity Impact
The field for THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson is assembled using the PGA Tour's standardized priority ranking system, which prioritizes fully exempt members based on prior-season performance, including the top 125 in FedExCup standings, alongside additional categories such as the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), winners of the previous six PGA Tour events, and major champions.[44] Up to 10 sponsor exemptions are granted by the tournament host, the Salesmanship Club of Dallas, often including a Monday qualifier event open to non-exempt professionals and low-handicap amateurs to fill the field of approximately 156 players.[45][46] Originally structured as an invitational event in the 1940s with a select group of top professionals, the tournament evolved into a fully open PGA Tour competition by the 1960s, broadening access through the priority ranking and qualifiers while maintaining its Dallas-centric focus.[1] In 2025, the field featured several past major winners, including Scottie Scheffler, highlighting its appeal to elite international talent.[47][48] Since 1968, when it became associated with the Salesmanship Club of Dallas, the tournament has supported charitable causes tied to its Dallas roots, primarily benefiting the club and its Momentous Institute, which delivers mental health services, education, and training programs for children and families.[49] By 2025, event proceeds and related initiatives had raised over $190 million for the institute, a significant increase from approximately $180 million as of 2023, with the 2025 event contributing $5.7 million, establishing it as the PGA Tour's most successful charitable fundraiser.[50][51][52] Key fundraising mechanisms include pro-am tournaments with player auctions, corporate sponsorships, and direct allocation of ticket and event revenue, all directed entirely to the Momentous Institute.[49] The 2024 title sponsorship by CJ Group enhanced contributions through initiatives like a $1,000 donation per birdie on the 17th hole, which generated substantial additional funds and aligned with the event's philanthropic mission.[8] These efforts enable the Momentous Institute to serve more than 6,000 children and families annually in the Dallas area with trauma-informed mental health programs, including school-based counseling and professional training; post-2020 expansions incorporated virtual resources and post-pandemic behavioral support to address heightened youth needs.[53]Records and Statistics
Scoring and Performance Records
The Byron Nelson has long been recognized for its low-scoring conditions, earning a reputation as a "birdie-fest" due to the generous fairways, reachable par-5s, and relatively benign green complexes at its various venues, which encourage aggressive play and high birdie rates compared to other PGA Tour events.[54][55] The tournament's 72-hole scoring record is 253 (31-under par), set by Scottie Scheffler in 2025 at TPC Craig Ranch, tying the PGA Tour's all-time mark for the lowest total in a 72-hole event since 1983.[7] This surpassed the previous Byron Nelson record of 259 (18-under par, relative to adjusted course par), achieved by Steven Bowditch in 2015 at TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas amid severe weather disruptions.[56] The single-round low is 60, first shot by Keegan Bradley in the opening round of the 2013 event at TPC Four Seasons (10-under par on par-70), and later matched by players including Sebastian Munoz (2022, 11-under par on par-71) and S.Y. Noh (2023, 11-under par on par-71) at TPC Craig Ranch.| Record Type | Details | Player(s) | Year | Venue |

Multiple Victories
The Byron Nelson tournament has seen seven players secure multiple victories across its history, highlighting the event's appeal to elite talent over nearly eight decades. Tom Watson holds the record with four wins, accomplished during a dominant stretch from 1975 to 1980, including three consecutive triumphs from 1978 to 1980 at venues like Preston Trail Golf Club. These successes, mentored in part by the tournament's namesake, underscored Watson's precision and consistency on Texas courses during the 1970s peak of his career.[61][62] Sam Snead remains the only other golfer with three victories, captured in the tournament's formative postwar era: 1945 at Dallas' Hillcrest Country Club, followed by back-to-back wins in 1957 and 1958 at the same venue. Snead's early dominance, including a tournament-record 20-under-par performance in 1957, exemplified the power game that defined his 82 PGA Tour triumphs and cemented his status as one of golf's all-time greats.[13] Five players have each won the event twice, spanning various eras and demonstrating the tournament's evolution. Jack Nicklaus claimed consecutive titles in 1970 and 1971 at Fairfield Country Club, leveraging his emerging major-championship prowess to navigate challenging scoring conditions. Bruce Lietzke followed with wins in 1981 at Las Colinas Country Club and 1988 at the TPC Four Seasons, reflecting his steady ball-striking suited to the event's birdie-friendly layouts. Sergio García, the first Spaniard to win, triumphed in 2004 at the TPC Four Seasons and again in 2016 at TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas, bridging the tournament's modern international shift. Jason Day (Australia) won in 2010 at TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas and 2023 at TPC Craig Ranch, showcasing adaptability across course changes. K.H. Lee (South Korea) achieved back-to-back victories in 2021 and 2022 at TPC Craig Ranch, becoming the first Asian player to repeat at the event amid its recent scoring explosions.[19][63] Early iterations of the tournament, dating to 1944, featured strong representation from Texas natives, including Byron Nelson's inaugural win that year and Ben Hogan's 1946 victory at Texarkana Country Club, establishing a pattern of regional excellence amid postwar recovery in American golf. International success remained scarce until the late 20th century, with Australia's Peter Thomson breaking through in 1956 at Hillcrest; the 2000s onward brought greater diversity, as evidenced by García's, Day's, and Lee's repeat wins, aligning with the PGA Tour's global expansion.[19] These multiple victories have significantly enhanced the Hall of Fame legacies of players like Watson, Snead, and Nicklaus, while highlighting the event's role in career milestones—Watson's four wins, for instance, spanned over five years and contributed to his eight major championships. No additional multiple winners have emerged since Day's 2023 success, emphasizing the heightened parity and depth in the modern field, even as low scores like the 2025 champion's 31-under-par total set new benchmarks.[5][64]Champions
List of Champions
The Byron Nelson tournament, now known as The CJ Cup Byron Nelson, has crowned champions annually since 1944, with notable gaps in 1947–1955 due to postwar hiatus, 1963 and 1965 for scheduling conflicts, and 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 1956, two separate events were held as part of the tournament's lineage. Over its more than 80 editions through 2025, American golfers have claimed approximately 90% of victories, reflecting the event's strong Texas roots and appeal to domestic talent. The average winning score in the stroke-play era (post-1960s) stands at around 12-under par, influenced by course conditions and format changes like the introduction of 72-hole play in later years. Playoffs have decided several outcomes, such as the inaugural 1944 event, though no titles have been shared.[4][65][1] The following table chronicles all champions, including year, winner, nationality, total score (with relation to par where standardized post-1960s), margin of victory, and venue. Purse details are included for select modern editions where significant for context; early purses were modest, often under $10,000. Data draws from official PGA Tour archives and historical records.
