Located within the community of Craig Ranch in the Dallas suburb of McKinney, Texas, TPC Craig Ranch is the host course for the fourth consecutive year. The event dates back to 1944, and in recent years has moved all over the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex with both Trinity Forest and the TPC Four Seasons Resort courses also hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featuring easy scoring conditions, few hazards, wide-open fairways, and large receptive greens, TPC Craig Ranch is a prototypical TPC course. It certainly fits the eyes of K.H. Lee who has won this event in two of the three years in which the tournament was held here. With an average winning score of 25-under par, it is a birdie-maker&#8217;s paradise that inevitably boils down to a putting contest. Along with &#8220;spike putting&#8221; ability, long-iron\/wood approach play is the key &#8220;separator&#8221; when determining golfers to target this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"569\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-8-569x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-8-569x1024.png 569w, https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-8-167x300.png 167w, https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-8-768x1382.png 768w, https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-8-853x1536.png 853w, https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-8.png 1009w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, the Byron Nelson has typically had a weak strength of field. That has only been amplified this year with the tournament being in the midst of a six-week stretch that includes two &#8220;Signature&#8221; events and two majors. Jordan Spieth is the only top-20 player in attendance. Overall, 10 of the top 50 in the world rankings are in the field including last year&#8217;s winner, Jason Day, Tom Kim, Will Zalatoris, Min Woo Lee, Byeong Hun An, Sungjae Im, Stephan Jaeger, and Si Woo Kim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Numerous players with ties to the Dallas area show up here every year including Spieth, Zalatoris, Tom Kim, K.H. Lee, Tom Hoge, and Ryan Palmer. With 500 FedEx Cup points, a $9.5 million purse, and the ability to play one&#8217;s way into next week&#8217;s &#8220;Signature&#8221; Wells Fargo event along with the PGA Championship on the line, there is plenty at stake this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We have partnered with\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vividpicks.com\/promo\/betspertsgolf\" target=\"_blank\">Vivid Picks<\/a>\u00a0to bring you an easy way to claim a FREE, no-strings-attached 2024 season at Betsperts Golf, plus a 100% deposit match up to $250!
