The 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson takes place from May 1-4 at TPC Craig Ranch as leading players in the betting odds make final preparations ahead of the PGA Championship.
World number one Scottie Scheffler headlines the field in his home state and is a commanding favorite to lift the trophy this week in McKinney, Texas.
With several top names opting for rest ahead of the 2025 PGA Championship, Scheffler will be challenged by the likes of Jordan Spieth, Sungjae Im and defending champion Jason Day.
TPC Craig Ranch, a par-71 layout measuring over 7,400 yards, has historically produced low scores, and another birdie-fest is expected.
Players who can capitalize on strong approach play and putting will be at an advantage in a field that offers opportunities for both favorites and outsiders.

CJ Cup Byron Nelson Contenders
Scottie Scheffler is the standout name this week and rightly installed as the heavy favorite. With excellent form on home soil, he will take considerable beating if he performs anywhere near his best.
Sungjae Im represents strong value. His consistency, combined with an elite iron game, suits TPC Craig Ranch perfectly.
He offers an attractive each-way alternative to the favorite and has the upside to go one better after a near-miss last year.
For those looking further down the board, Taylor Montgomery is a lively outsider. A powerful driver and streaky putter, Montgomery has the skill set needed to thrive in low-scoring conditions and could spring a surprise at big odds.
