Odds provided by FanDuel – accurate as of May 2

Scottie Scheffler | -200 at BetMGM sportsbook

Still in search of his first win of the 2025 season, former University of Texas star Scottie Scheffler returns to his collegiate state. Following a 2024 season that saw the world’s number one ranked golfer win 7 events, the new season has found the two-time Masters champion still is in search of his first win but with five top 10 finishes in eight events it’s hard to call this season a disappointment. This marks the 28-year-olds sixth appearance at the event and first since the 2023 season when he finished tied for fifth place.

Jordan Spieth | +15000 at Caesars Sportsbook

Texas native Jordan Spieth returns to his home state this week as he also looks for his first win of the season and first since winning the 2022 RBC Heritage. With three consecutive top 18 finishes the Dallas native also seems to be on the verge of breaking through into the winner’s circle. This will be the 31-year-olds 14^th time teeing it up in the event and with one runner-up result to go with two top 10 finishes and five top 25’s the time seems right for the other University of Texas star in the field.

Sungjae Im | +7000 at Caesars Sportsbook

With two career wins to his credit South Korea’s Sungjae Im is looking for his first win since the 2021 Shriners Children’s Open. There have been many close calls for the 27-year-old over that time including three top 10 finishes this season. Im also has five runner-up and six third place finishes to his resume but winning on the PGA Tour is never an easy task. This marks his second time playing in the event but his first ever time teeing it up at TPC Craig Ranch since the tournament moved here for the 2021 season.

Byeong-Hun An | +12500 at Caesars Sportsbook

Byeong-Hun An is still in search of his first career victory as he gets set to tee it up for the 214^th time on the PGA Tour. Sitting 37^th in the official world golf rankings, the 33-year-old is looking to build on a season that has seen him post four top 25 finishes. This will mark his fourth time playing at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson with some spectacular results to his name. A tie for fourth, a tie for fifth and a tie for 14^th makes An a very intriguing pick this week.

Sam Burns | +8000 at bet365 sportsbook

The world’s 39^th ranked golfer Sam Burns is looking for his first stroke play victory since winning the 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge. The 28-year-old Louisiana native is coming off a tie for 13^th his last time out at the RBC Heritage. This marks his fourth appearance at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and with a second-place finish already under his belt from his 2021 performance, he will look to build off that and go one place better this time around.

Alejandro Tosti | +35000 at FanDuel sportsbook

Argentina’s Alejandro Tosti is making quite an impression in recent weeks as his results make him a real contender to win this week. Coming off a tie for fifth place, a tie for 12^th place and a tie for second place in his last three stroke play events, he appears like he’s ready for that first PGA Tour victory. This marks just the 45^th event in his career but the recent results jump off the page and make him worthy of your attention this week.
