The winning score Lanny Wadkins wanted for the CJ CUP Byron Nelson after TPC Craig Ranch renovation
Photo by Stan Badz/PGA TOUR Lanny Wadkins’ redesign of TPC Craig Ranch began almost immediately after Scottie Scheffler romped away with the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May 2025. Scheffler won the 2025 CJ CUP Byron Nelson in 2025 after shooting an incredible 31-under par for four rounds at TPC Craig Ranch. The 29-year-old world number one made the course in McKinney, Texas, look far too easy this time last year.

The bottom line is that TPC Craig Ranch was far too easy for the best golfers in the world, and Lanny Wadkins was brought in to change that.

The South Korean has posted rounds of 64 and 60 during the first two rounds to lead by five shots heading into the weekend. The early signs are that Lanny Wadkins’ renovations haven’t quite worked in the way that he expected them to.
Wadkins spoke about the renovation that he performed at TPC Craig Ranch, as quoted by Golfweek . “ They basically said they didn’t want 30-under winning the thing anymore, “ Wadkins said. “ And I told them, don’t worry.

We’ve got one, two, three holes or so that play downwind and the bunkers don’t even start until 315 or 320 yards. “ So, you know, that’s definitely with the Tour in mind.
