The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2025 is set to tee off on Thursday, May 1, at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. The 20th event on the PGA Tour schedule will see a stacked 156-player field compete for the winner’s paycheck from the $9,900,000 prize purse.The CJ Cup Byron Nelson follows the unique team-format Zurich Classic of New Orleans on the schedule. Several big-name stars, including World No.2 Rory McIlroy, are sitting the competition out after their team outings. However, World No.1 Scottie Scheffler has committed to the contest.Despite having seven others of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking among the top contenders, the 2024 Masters champ remains the outright favorite to win.Scheffler enters the event on the back of an T8 finish at the RBC Heritage. He’d finished solo-fourth at the Masters. The 28-year-old celebrated his best finish, a T2 at the Houston Open ahead of the Augusta outing. The ace golfer, who was crowned the PGA Tour Player of the Year last year, will be eying his first victory of the season this weekend in Texas.The two-time major champion will face some competition from World No.20 Sungjae Im. The 27-year-old South Korean golfer finished T11 at RBC Heritage, one stroke behind Scheffler. Interestingly, he’d also finished T5 at the Masters with the same distance to the World No.1 golfer. It’ll be interesting to see how the two golfers fare against each other at TPC Craig Ranch.Scheffler and Im are the only two top-20 ranked players at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson this year. World No.37 Byeong Hun An, No.38 Tom Kim, and No.39 Sam Burns are some other big names to watch at the contest.
