PGA Tour AT&T Byron Nelson Golf Betting Overview

Written by on May 18, 2016

After a dominating performance by world No. 1 Jason Day at the big-money Players Championship over the weekend at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., the PGA Tour heads to Texas for a two-week Lone Star State Swing beginning with the AT&T Byron Nelson tournament at the TPC Four Seasons Resort-Las Colinas in Irving outside Dallas. And native son Jordan Spieth, the world No. 2, is the heavy favorite on sportsbook odds in a slightly watered-down field. The winning margin favorite is one shot at +250. A playoffs is +300.

This tournament dates to 1944. That year, Byron Nelson teed it up at Lakewood Country Club and won the Texas Victory Open by 10 strokes over his friend Harold “Jug” McSpaden. The AT&T Byron Nelson is now the ninth longest-running active tournament on the Tour schedule. Aside from the three U.S. majors (the U.S. Open, PGA Championship and the Masters), only eight Tour events were established prior to 1944. While 10 years elapsed before an annual Dallas-based event began again in 1956, the stage was set for the introduction of the current tournament, which began as the Byron Nelson Golf Classic in 1968. In 1983 the tournament moved to the Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas.

The course is a par 70 at 7,1666 yards. Originally laid out by Jay Morrish in 1983, the course underwent a major overhaul in 2007 by D.A. Weibring and Steve Wolfard. In 2019, the tournament will move from the Four Seasons course in Irving to the yet-built Trinity Forest Golf Course in Dallas. This is one of two PGA tournaments held in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex – the only metropolitan area to host two PGA tournaments.

If there’s one hole to watch, it’s No. 14 as it’s annually one of the toughest of the tournament. It was the No. 1-handicap hole in the opening round last year. At 4.282, it tied for the 41st-hardest par 4 among 560 par 4s played all season.
