Tournament Preview - AT&T Byron Nelson

Tournament Preview - AT&T Byron Nelson

Hello members,

We move on to Dallas, TX for the AT&T Byron Nelson played at TPC Craig Ranch. Jordan Spieth dropped from the field on Monday due to an injury he sustained last week. He’s a big AT&T guy so pretty big blow to the local Dallas crowd and AT&T as a company for him to be missing. Hopefully, he can make it back for next week’s PGA Championship.

Scottie Scheffler is the big name headlining the event. His pre-tournament odds at +375, which is some of the lowest I’ve seen this year. Not too many other big names are playing, as they are preparing for next week’s major.

Two time defending champion, K.H. Lee, is back and looking to three-peat. His pre-tourney odds are +2200, so some decent risk reward there for a player who clearly can play around these parts.

Talor Gooch is trying to go for three wins on the LIV tour in a row this week in Tulsa, OK.

The PGA Championship field was announced this week. The full list is here.

Some notable players to consider:

• Scottie Scheffler - +375 - hard to bet against Scottie at this point

• Tom Kim - +1600 - need a lot of birdies to win this week and Tom is capable

• Eric Cole - +7000 - my long shot pick just because I like him
