The 2024 Byron Nelson tournament receives a surprising name change

The 2024 Byron Nelson Tournament is interesting for several reasons. Its name changed when AT&T pulled out this year. Previously, the competition was named the AT&T Byron Nelson Tournament. However, the South Korean conglomerate - CJ will be the new title sponsor for the event after it was announced on September 4, 2023.

The Tournament had various sponsors all these years and was even named the Texas Victory Open before changing it to the Dallas Open. However, it was later changed to Byron Nelson, who was the first tournament winner.

AT&T sponsored the tournament for 8 years from 2015 to 2023. Before that, companies like HP, EDS, Verizon, and GTE also sponsored the event. With a new name and a new sponsor, the 2024 Byron Nelson tournament will feature prominent golfers from around the world.

Australian golfer Jason Day is the defending champion, who will face stern competition from many golfers with a prize purse of $9.5 million on the line.
