The AT&T Byron Nelson is set to begin on Thursday from TPC Craig Ranch. Located just outside of Dallas, Texas, K.H. Lee will attempt to defend his outright title here for the third consecutive time, making him the first player to achieve this feat in over a decade. Last year, Lee scorched TPC Craig Ranch, setting the course record at -26-under-par, including an opening round at -8-under-par and a closing round at -9-under-par. Lee wound up needing every bit of that scorecard though, as Jordan Spieth was nipping at his heels down the stretch on Sunday in 2022, falling just short at -25-under-par.
This year, Scottie Scheffler is the outright betting favorite at 5/1 odds, followed by Spieth at 10/1. Both players are natives of Texas and, more specifically, Dallas, so expect the crowd to be heavily biased toward their hometown heroes throughout the weekend. Other golfers that oddsmakers expect to do well this weekend include Tyrrell Hatton (14/1), Jason Day (16/1), and Tom Kim (20/1), rounding out the top five outright betting favorites. Of course, we just saw Wyndham Clark pull off a dominant outright win at The Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club this past weekend, delivering a huge 75/1 payout for bettors who invested early.
