AT&T Byron Nelson odds analysis & field notes

Scheffler returns to action as the consensus betting favorite and top-ranked golfer in the AT&T Byron Nelson field after skipping last week's elevated Wells Fargo Championship. The University of Texas grad is followed by Spieth on the consensus oddsboard. Spieth was the runner-up to Lee in this event last year. 

FanDuel has the most competitive AT&T Byron Nelson odds across the market on the majority of the top contenders but notably has market-low odds of +850 on Spieth to win. Caesars is looking most favorably upon Lee as the back-to-back-to-back champion. Lee is even coming off a strong T-8 finish at last week's Wells Fargo Championship.

Those not already exempt into the PGA Championship field will have their final opportunity to gain entry with a victory this week.

TPC Craig Ranch course profile

Par: 72
Length: 7,414 yards
Greens: Bentgrass
Architect: Tom Weiskopf

TPC Craig Ranch, designed by Tom Weiskopf, has hosted only the two most recent runnings of the AT&T Byron Nelson. As the winner of both events, it's no surprise that Lee is the field leader in true strokes gained at this venue. Spieth, Seamus Power, Hideki Matsuyama, and Matt Kuchar also rank among the most successful of the two-time participants at this venue.

The course's main defense against scoring is Rowlett Creek, which crosses the course 14 times. However, that defense has been quite weak. The adjusted scoring average over the last two years has been 2.76 strokes below par with Lee shooting a combined minus-51 in his two victories. Fourteen golfers finished at least 20-under par last year and 18 broke 70 in all four rounds with 12 holes scoring under par.

The four par 5s yielded 82 eagles in last year's AT&T Byron Nelson.
