In between a'designated event'with the'Wells Fargo Championship'and the'PGA Championship'is the AT&T Byron Nelson.'
And if the past two years at TPC Craig Ranch are any indication, players will get a break from tough tests, as the course is one of the easiest players will face all year, and a lot of birdies will be made.
A par-72 and 7,468 yards, TPC Craig Ranch rewards the longer hitters as it is pretty straightforward, without much trouble tee-to-green. It doesn't mean shorter hitters can't contend, but it is a very vanilla course by PGA Tour standards.
The tournament has only been held at the course twice, and K.H. Lee has won both times. In 2021 he finished at 25-under, and last year he won at 26-under.
When selecting players for the week, I will be focusing on players who can make birdies in bunches, particularly in early conditions, players who hit their long irons best and the top putters on bentgrass.
While he's the two-time defending champion, Lee is +2500 to win.'Scottie Scheffler'has the best odds to win at +333, down from +400 after Jordan Spieth withdrew Monday night due to a wrist injury.
Despite being the week before a major, nine players in the top 40 of the Official World Golf Rankings are teeing it up.
Below are some players to target when'golf betting, followed by my betting card for the week.
