After an eight-shot “World No. 1 being the World No. 1” victory last year, Scottie Scheffler returns as the defending champion/leader-in-the-clubhouse for this week’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

The Texas event is back at TPC Craig Ranch after an offseason renovation led by former pro Lanny Wadkins. And many are hoping the course will have a bit more teeth to it after Scheffler tied the PGA Tour’s all-time 72-hole scoring record a year ago at 31 under par. In addition to Scheffler, we’ll see a handful of other top-50-ranked pros, such as Si Woo Kim and Jordan Spieth, along with five-time major champ Brooks Koepka, still looking for his first win after returning to the PGA Tour.
