The CJ Cup Byron Nelson golf tournament is making its much-anticipated return to McKinney, Texas, with the first tee times scheduled for May 21. The tournament will run through May 24 at the TPC Craig Ranch, which has undergone significant renovations completed last December. These enhancements include turf improvements, redesigned bunkers, and greens that promise a more challenging experience for PGA golfers.

Course Renovations and Challenges

According to PGA Tour official Mike Peterson, the redesigned greens now offer more character, presenting a greater challenge to the players. This reimagined course is expected to draw attention from both participants and fans eager to see the changes firsthand.

Fan Experience and Community Impact

Fans attending the tournament will have access to multiple public venues, including The Green and the House of CJ. The House of CJ has expanded to feature six Korean brands focused on food, entertainment, and beauty. Meanwhile, The Green, now located at hole 10, will offer golf lifestyle brands with proceeds benefiting the Momentous Institute, a mental health organization supporting children and families globally.

New this year is a clubhouse sponsored by High Noon, situated along the 18th hole’s fairway, offering branded drinks to the public. The Pavilion, a covered viewing deck with a bar at hole 17, and the exclusive Choctaw Club and Champions Club are also returning.

Supporting a Worthy Cause

The tournament, hosted by the Salesmanship Club of Dallas, has a long-standing tradition of raising funds for the Momentous Institute. Since 1968, it has contributed over $190 million to the organization. Tickets are available on the tournament’s website, with admission prices ranging from $50 to $400.

Golf enthusiasts and community members alike are encouraged to attend and support this event, which not only showcases top-tier golf but also contributes significantly to a charitable cause.
