Jason Day won The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2023 after carding rounds of 64,69,66 and 62 to finish 23 under par at the TPC Craig Ranch in Texas. The PGA Tour star beat the likes of Si Woo Kim (-22) and Austin Eckroat (-22) to take the victory. He is returning to defend the title this weekend.

Day is set to tee off at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024 on Thursday, May 2. The 36-year-old will commence his Texas outing at 8:45 am ET. He will be joined by Sungjae Im and event favorite Jordan Spieth on the 10th tee. The marquee group will follow the pairing of Camilo Villegas, Tom Kim and Mackenzie Hughes.

Jason Day has had a decent start to the 2024 PGA Tour season. The Aussie began his schedule with a T10 finish at The Sentry. Following this, he finished T6 at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and solo-ninth at the Genesis Open. Notably, he finished T35 at The Players Championship and T30 at The Masters.

Coming off the back of a T18 finish at the RBC Heritage, Day is one of the favorites to win The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024. According to SportsLine, the 2015 PGA Championship winner comes into the event with 18-1 odds. Interestingly, he is only bested by Jordan Spieth (12-1) on the odds list.

It’s pertinent to note that The CJ Cup Byron Nelson outing was Day’s only victory last year. It’ll be interesting to see if the 13-time PGA Tour winner can defend his title this weekend.
