AT&T Byron Nelson: Preview, betting tips, how to watch

K.H. Lee is going for three in a row this week at the AT&T Byron Nelson.

The South Korean won in 2021 and 2022, with totals of 25-under-par and 26-under-par respectively. If he can continue that trend and shoot 27-under-par this year he’ll be a hard man to beat.

By the way, the last player to win the same PGA Tour event in three consecutive years? Steve Stricker at the John Deere Classic, 2009-2011. Every day is a school day, huh?

This event, named after the legendary five-time major champion, is held in Texas over TPC Craig Ranch, a venue that’s fairly new to the rota and is clearly yielding low scores. It’s been the host to an event that’s been dotted about a few courses in recent years.

Many of the field this week will have one eye on the PGA Championship, with the second major of the year taking place the following week. This week isn’t a designated event, which gives some the opportunity for a week away from tournament play and a chance to relax ahead of Oak Hill. Scottie Scheffler, however, is set to tee it up.

AT&T has sponsored this event since 2015.

Here’s the full Byron Nelson preview.
