2022 AT&T Byron Nelson

US PGA Tour 

TPC Craig Ranch  
McKinney, Dallas, Texas, USA  
12 - 15 May 2022 
 
Scottie Scheffler will be the favourite to win the 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson when he tees off at the TPC Craig Ranch. 
 
The American star is in the best form of his life having won four PGA Tour events in 2022 and he is now sitting at the top of the Official World Golf Rankings. 
 
Scheffler has clinched the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Arnold Palmer Invitational, WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play as well as Masters Tournament.

The former University of Texas student's last win came at last month's Masters Tournament defeating Rory McIlroy by three strokes. 
 
Scheffler became the fifth golfer to enter the Masters' Tournament ranked No. 1 in the world and go on to win the golf major.
 
The New Jersey-born golfer emulated Ian Woosnam (1991), Fred Couples (1992), Tiger Woods (2001, 2002) and Dustin Johnson (2020).
 
Scheffler also became the first golfer since Arnold Palmer in 1960, and only the second ever, to win four events including the Masters in that span of time to begin a season.

"I think because it's the Masters. I dreamed of having a chance to play in this golf tournament," Scheffler said after winning the Masters.
 
"I teared up the first time I got my invitation in the mail. I love this golf course. This would be the tournament I would want to win. You don't know how many chances you're going to get. 
 
"I don't know if you get better opportunities than that. You don't want to waste them."
 
Tom Watson is the most successful golfer in the history of the AT&T Byron Nelson having won the tournament a record four times.
