The traditional PGA Tour format returns this week for the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Taking to TPC Craig Ranch for the fourth straight year, the Byron Nelson will welcome a number of familiar faces that typically tee it up in the Lone Star State. The quick stint in Texas represents the beginning of the sprint towards the second major championship of the season as a signature event and the PGA Championship loom over the next two weeks.

Someone who will be looking to find some much-needed form during this time is none other than Jordan Spieth. The 13-time winner on the PGA Tour has been shut out of the winner's circle for more than two years at this point and looks to be in disarray following a disappointing early exit from the Masters.

Spieth remains without a PGA Championship in his corner and will need to find something at this typically comfortable spot on the calendar before making the trip to Valhalla. Spieth is joined in the field by last year's winner, Jason Day, last year's runner-up Si Woo Kim as well as Adam Scott, Tom Kim, Sungjae Im and Will Zalatoris.

A number of these players have ties to the Dallas area and even call the place home. This could prove to be advantageous as it had been for a player like K.H. Lee who won back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022 for his two PGA Tour victories. No matter the case, the Byron Nelson represents a long-standing event on the PGA Tour calendar where big-time winners have come through.
