Noonan’s 2026 CJ CUP Byron Nelson<\/a><\/a><\/span> Outright Betting Picks & Preview<\/span><\/h2>\n

When someone comes in and drops a 31-under winning score on your property, you need to go back to the drawing board and figure it out. Even when it’s the world’s No. 1. <\/span><\/p>\n

That’s what we have here this week at TPC Craig Ranch. After Scottie Scheffler<\/a><\/a><\/span>‘s boat raced the field by eight shots last year, the renovation to TPC Craig Ranch began immediately. Now, this wasn’t in response to Scheffler’s dominant performance specifically; this was obviously planned, but it was in response to how the course has played for the modern game, and since the PGA Tour’s contract with the venue extends into the 2030’s, something had to be done to change the dynamics a bit.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wadkins Design Group, led by former Tour pro Lann Wadkins, made many changes to the property, but didn’t reroute or completely reshape Tom Weiskopf’s original layout and routing. Bunkering around the greens should be more penal, and many of the green complexes were reshaped or rebuilt entirely. New greens always play firm, so that alone should lessen the scoring a bit, and the rye grass fairways will now be covered with zoysia grass, which is more spongy and requires less water, a key design element for a course down in Texas.<\/span><\/p>\n
