The tournament named for the legendary Texan is in a tough spot on the schedule but will have the world No. 1.
Believe it or not, the season’s second major is just a couple weeks away.
The PGA Championship will begin May 15 with the signature-event Truist Championship (formerly Wells Fargo) immediately prior at Philadelphia Cricket Club.
The PGA Tour’s best will play both, meaning that this week’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson was destined to draw a lesser field as players rest up before that stretch. But there is one big headliner: World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
Scheffler, a native Texan, is playing TPC Craig Ranch for the sixth time. He sat out last year’s event but is back as the only top-10 player in the field. Sungjae Im, the world No. 20, is the only other top-20 player competing.
Jordan Spieth, the 2022 runner-up, is also in the field and will be a popular follow around the Tom Weiskopf-designed course. Taylor Pendrith returns as the defending champion.
This event is one of two Tour stops in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, with the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial coming the week after the PGA, and has been named for the legendary Byron Nelson since 1968.
