Scottie Scheffler Aims for Victory Amid Challenging Conditions at CJ Cup Byron Nelson
The 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, is set to challenge players with a redesigned course and potentially windy conditions. Scottie Scheffler, the defending champion, is the favorite to win, with odds of +168. The course has undergone significant changes, including tighter fairways, repositioned bunkers, and new bentgrass greens, which could introduce variability in putting performance. Brooks Koepka and Wyndham Clark are also in the spotlight, with Koepka's strong approach play and Clark's recent struggles making them players to watch. The tournament aims to move away from its previous birdie-friendly setup, focusing instead on precision and adaptability.
