AT&T Byron Nelson | First Round Preview

MCKINNEY, TEXAS - The 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson field is loaded with star power, as 16 of the Top 30 in the current FedEx Cup standings and nine of the Top 20 in the Official World Golf Ranking are in the field, headlined by Dallas natives Scottie Scheffler, FedEx Cup leader and World No. 1, and local favorite Jordan Spieth, AT&T ambassador who returned to the winner’s circle in April at the RBC Heritage. The field also includes Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama, Xander Schauffele, Joaquin Niemann and Sam Burns.

Jordan Spieth makes his first start since winning his 13th PGA Tour title at the RBC Heritage as he returns to his home state of Texas. Spieth has 15 Top-10 finishes in Texas since 2013, the most of any player in that time frame. Spieth is one of eight players with two wins in Texas during the FedEx Cup-era (established 2007).

The AT&T Byron Nelson honors the legacy of the tournament namesake and legend, Byron Nelson. It was the first PGA Tour event to be named in honor of a professional golfer. Despite retiring at the age of 34 to work his ranch, Nelson is considered among the greatest players of all time – with 52 career PGA Tour wins including a record 18 titles (11 straight) in 1945. Nelson lent his name to what was previously known as the Dallas Open in 1968 and was instrumental in the tournament’s growth until his passing in 2006.
