The PGA Tour heads to Texas for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch.
With just two weeks until the second Major of the year, the PGA Championship, it’s not surprising that Jordan Spieth has opted to compete this week. The American has three Major wins in his career, but he has yet to lift the Wanamaker Trophy. If he does that in mid-May, he will achieve a career Grand Slam, and this tournament offers the perfect opportunity for him to work on his game in the build-up.
He is part of a strong group in the opening two rounds, playing alongside defending champion Jason Day and two-time PGA Tour winner Sungjae Im. The three begin the first round at 8.45am ET (1.45pm BST) with a tee time of 1.55pm ET (6.55pm BST) in the second round.
Another eye-catching group features three-time PGA Tour Tom Kim, who is alongside Camilo Villegas, who has five wins on the PGA Tour, and Mackenzie Hughes, who has two.
The group gets underway at 8.34m ET (1.34pm BST) in the first round, with a start time of 1.44m ET (6.44pm BST) in the second round.
