The THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson returns to TPC Craig Ranch from May 21–24, 2026, offering a $10.3 million purse and 500 FedExCup points to the winner. A recent $25 million redesign has toughened a layout that yielded historically low scores, most notably Scottie Scheffler’s record-equalling 31-under triumph in 2025.
The Texan World No. 1 headlines a strong field that blends global pedigree with proven champions, including Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth. International success has defined the event in recent years, with five of the last six titles going abroad. Steeped in the legacy of Byron Nelson, whose 1945 season remains the sport’s benchmark, the tournament continues to reward aggressive scoring—though the revamped course may finally demand a more measured approach.
