About The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024
The PGA Tour declared in September 2023 that the Dallas-based Byron Nelson, one of the tour's events, would henceforth be sponsored by the CJ Group. The tournament will now be called "THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson" due to the change, which was first announced during the tour's 2024 schedule release.
Nelson has been sponsored by AT&T since 2015, but because the Pebble Beach Pro-Am has been granted designated event status for the 2024 season and consequently offers a larger purse, AT&T was redirecting its expenditures to its other PGA Tour tournament.
The Nelson, which was formerly known as the Dallas Open, was founded in 1944. It was renamed in 1968 in honor of Byron Nelson, and among its previous champions are Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Watson, Sam Snead, and Jack Nicklaus. The tournament will still be held at TPC Craig Ranch.
The 2024 CJ CUP Byron Nelson will take place from April 29 to May 5, with the first round starting on May 2. Jason Day, the 2010 winner of the event, again won it in 2023, defeating Kim Si-woo and Austin Eckroat by a single stroke for 261, under 23; the former finished T2.
CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024 History
The Byron Nelson golf event has a long history that began in 1926 under the name of the Dallas Open. Following a break, the tournament was revived as the Texas Victory Open in 1944, a year when Byron Nelson won by 10 shots.
The event had multiple name changes over the years until officially becoming the Byron Nelson Classic in 1968, the year it was designated as an official PGA Tour event. There are only two PGA Tour events named after golfers: the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
As the official title sponsor, CJ Group committed to a ten-year engagement with CJ Cup Byron Nelson in 2023. Every year in May, the tournament is held at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.
