Where is the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson being played? Location and more explored

As the 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans comes to an end, the PGA Tour moves back to Texas for the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

The 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson will be played at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, from May 2 to 5. The course has been hosting the tournament since 2021. The course is rated among the toughest golf courses in Texas.

The course was established in 2004 and designed by PGA TOUR legend and architect Tom Weiskopf. The tournament was earlier known as AT&T Byron Nelson until last year as it has been sponsored by AT&T since 2015.

The tournament has also been known as the HP Byron Nelson Championship and ED Byron Nelson Championship. This year, the tournament will be called CJ Cup Byron Nelson as it is being sponsored by CJ Group.

The course is a par 72 course. It is 7,438 yards and is characterized by Zoysia fairways and Bentgrass greens. The course is picturesque with rolling hills and mature woods and the aspect of Rowlett Creek makes the course challenging and aesthetic at the same time.

The par-4 first hole requires a precise tee shot over a creek and a tight fairway while the third hole is tricky with water hazards. The ninth hole presents length and water challenges to end the front nine. The back nine features a thrilling three-hole stretch with potential birdies and eagles.

The par-4 16th hole is considered to be the toughest on the course. Securing a par here would be a victory as it's a lengthy, uphill fairway and challenging green surrounded by trees and bunkers.

A look at the field of 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson

The 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson was won by Jason Day and he'd be looking to repeat the feat this year. There are many challengers to him and Jordan Spieth is the highest-ranked player playing in the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Spieth was a runner-up in the 2022 edition of the competition and recently finished in the top 10 of the Valero Texas Open.

Another formidable player teeing up in Texas is Will Zalatoris. He has had 3 top-10 finishes, including a T2 finish at the Genesis Invitational and a T4 finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Both Spieth and Zalatoris will look to break the curse to win the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Recent winners Stephan Jaeger, Byeong Hun An, Jake Knapp, and Nick Dunlap will be among the top picks at the course.

Golf enthusiasts would also be watching out for 16-year-old Kris Kim of England who will be making his Tour debut at the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
