The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2025 odds and top bets explored ft. Scottie Scheffler

The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2025 is set to begin on Thursday, May 1. The event being hosted at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, will see 156 players compete for the $9,900,000 prize purse. World No.1 Scottie Scheffler headlines the contest’s field and is also the outright favorite to win.

The CJ Cup Byron Nelson will have seven of the top-50 ranked players in the world among its top contenders. Unsurprisingly, the highest-rated golfer is also the favorite. According to SportsLine, the 28-year-old golfer comes into the competition with +280 odds. His closest competitor on the list is Jordan Spieth and Sungjae Im, who have odds of +1800 and +2200, respectively.

For the unversed, Scheffler is yet to clinch a victory this season. Having missed the PGA Tour season-opener due to an injury, the 2024 Masters champion started his campaign with a T9 finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. His best finish so far came at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, where he finished T2. He comes into the TPC Craig Ranch contest on the back of a T8 finish at the RBC Heritage and a solo-fourth at the Masters.

Meanwhile, Spieth enters the competition following a T18 finish at the RBC Heritage. He finished T14 at the Masters. It is important to note that the 13-time PGA Tour winner’s last victory on the circuit came at the 2022 RBC Heritage. It is also noteworthy that this week’s odds are among the highest garnered by the 31-year-old.

World No.20 Im follows the No.58 player on the odds list. The 27-year-old South Korean golfer finished T11 at RBC Heritage and will also be eyeing a big comeback in Texas.
