Top Pick to Win the CJ Cup Byron Nelson

Scottie Scheffler (+154)

While the value on Scheffler is limited, the world No. 1 is primed for a victory. He made his first PGA Tour appearance at this venue in 2014, securing a T-22 finish as a 17-year-old.

Although a struggling putter resulted in a T-14 finish at last week’s PGA Championship—following three consecutive runner-up results—Scheffler continues to lead the tour in both scoring average (69.24) and birdie average (4.88).

The course typically yields low scores, though recent renovations have introduced thicker rough bordering the fairways.

Scheffler dominated last year’s tournament at TPC Craig Ranch, winning by eight strokes with a total of 31-under-par. A repeat performance is certainly possible this week.

Best Sleeper Pick for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson

Jordan Spieth (+1850)

Fellow Texan Jordan Spieth (pictured above) also debuted on the PGA Tour at TPC Craig Ranch at age 16, where he finished T-16.

Spieth showed signs of returning to form with a T-18 finish at the PGA Championship last week. He remains focused on completing the career grand slam, a goal he may pursue next year when the event returns to Texas.

Spieth placed fourth at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson last year and was the runner-up in 2022.

Notably, Spieth currently sits 11th on the tour with 13 hole-outs this season.

Best Longshot Pick for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson

Ryo Hisatsune (+4800)

Ryo Hisatsune is still chasing his maiden PGA Tour title, but he has been in contention several times this year:

• Farmers Insurance Open (T-2)
• WM Phoenix Open (T-10)
• AT+T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (T-8)
• Valero Texas Open (T-8)

Hisatsune also displays strong statistical performance, recording 230 total birdies this season, trailing only Si Woo Kim (244) on the tour.

Furthermore, he is tied for the third-lowest round of the season, having carded a 62 during the opening round at Pebble Beach. His first win appears to be within reach.
