AT&T Byron Nelson Championship 2025

Get ready for world-class golf at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, where top players face off at one of Texas' premier courses.

​The AT&T Byron Nelson Championship, now known as THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, is an annual PGA Tour golf tournament held in Texas. The 2025 event is scheduled for May 1 to 4 at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.​

The Byron Nelson Championship is a tribute to one of the game's greatest legends. Named after Byron Nelson, a golfer who dominated the sport with 52 PGA Tour wins and an unbeatable 11-tournament streak in 1945, this event carries his legacy forward.

Founded in 1944 as the Texas Victory Open, it became the first PGA Tour event named after a player in 1968. Nelson himself was a constant presence, and he welcomed players and fans for many years. But his impact extends far beyond the fairways. The tournament, hosted by the Salesmanship Club, has raised over $180 million for the Momentous Institute and helped children through mental health and education programs.

Fun fact: At just 16 years old, Kris Kim made history as the youngest player to compete in THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson!
