Is Rory McIlroy participating in the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson tournament

PGA Tour now heads to TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas for the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, which will take place from May 11 to 14. The event will feature some big names in the circuit, with World No.2 Scottie Scheffler being the highest-ranked player at TPC Craig Ranch.

Celebrated golfers Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy will be absent from AT&T Byron Nelson this week. World No.1 Rahm was last seen at Mexico Open, where he lost his title to Tony Finau by a three-stroke margin.

McIlroy returned in action last week in the Well Fargo Championship but the break didn't seem to bring much change in his fortune. The World No. 3 had an underwhelming outing as he could only finish at T-47, his worst finish at Quail Hollow Golf Club in a decade.

Who is playing at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson?

Scottie Scheffler is the highest-ranked player in 156 player field at AT&T Byron Nelson. There are not many top-ranked players playing this week but the field has some prominent names like Jordan Spieth, Hideki Matsuyama, Jason Day, Stewart Cink, and back-to-back defending champion K.H. Lee.

Last year, Lee joined the likes of Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Watson to become only a few players to defend the title at TPC Craig Ranch.
