Scottie Scheffler Looks for Putting Rebound on Revamped Greens at His Hometown Byron Nelson

Scheffler returns after tying the PGA Tour scoring record with a 253 last year, while Kristoffer Reitan defends the Belgium Open.

  • Defending champion Scottie Scheffler returns to TPC Craig Ranch this week to compete in the Byron Nelson, a tournament dating back to 1944 with a $10.3 million prize purse.
  • Scheffler enters the tournament following a 14th-place finish at the PGA Championship, his first result outside the top 10 in a major since the 2024 U.S. Open. Last year he won this title by eight shots.
  • Thomas Detry competes in his national Belgium Open after narrowly missing U.S. Open qualification spots on three occasions. The event features a $2.75 million purse with sponsor exemption recipient Jean Van de Velde in the field.
  • The 66-man field excludes Charles Schwab Cup leaders Stewart Cink and Zach Johnson, though the tournament features six major champions including Els, Leonard, and Vijay Singh.
  • Patrick Reed remains nearly 500 points ahead of Rory McIlroy in the Race to Dubai as the international tour schedule progresses toward the U.S. Open.
