TPC Craig Ranch is home to one of three tournaments named after PGA Tour legend Byron Nelson, who won five major championships among his 52 professional victories. He also won 18 tournaments in 1945 alone, including 11 straight — feats that will likely never be matched. Now called the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, this tournament continues to honor one of the game’s greatest players.
