The final tune-up for the 2023 PGA Championship is here as the PGA Tour is in McKinney, Texas, for the AT&T Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch.
Jordan Spieth, one of the biggest names in the field and the solo runner-up to K.H. Lee at this event last season, withdrew on Monday citing “severe pain” is his left wrist.
While that Texan won’t be teeing it up on Thursday, world No. 2 Scottie Scheffler is making his first start since the RBC Heritage (T-11). The University of Texas star tied for 15th at TPC Craig Ranch in 2022.
This will be the third Byron Nelson played on the Tom Weiskopf design with Lee winning the first two.
