Now that Aaron Rai is a major championship winner, we naturally head to TPC Craig Ranch for the 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson, because we need to be able to take a breath. While Scottie Scheffler returns to defend his title this week, this is a relatively weak field and one that could produce a longshot winner.
TPC Craig Ranch opened in 2004 in McKinney, Texas, as a Tom Weiskopf design, but has recently undergone some renovations that will change the course a bit. There have been about 200 yards shaved off and now the par-71 measures 7,385 yards. However, it will still be a ball-striking and scoring test most likely, especially with wet, rainy conditions on deck throughout the week.
