Editor’s note: This story was published before Jordan Spieth withdrew from the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson Monday with an injury to his left wrist and J.J. Spaun withdrew Tuesday.
Original story below has been updated, including with the latest odds as of Tuesday at 2:34 a.m. ET.
The last stop on the schedule before the 105th PGA Championship next week is the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, which is being played at TPC Craig Ranch for the 3rd time. The 1st round from McKinney, Texas, tees off on Thursday morning.
Below, we look at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
Dallas native Scottie Scheffler comes in as the heavy favorite (+326) to win in his home state. Tyrrell Hatton (+1200), Jason Day (+1400), Tom Kim (+1400), Hideki Matsuyama (+2200) and 2-time defending champion K.H. Lee, (+2500) are among a group of players with the shortest odds to win this week. The field is slightly weaker than usual with the season’s 2nd major next week at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y.
TPC Craig Ranch typically plays as a par 72, but the 12th hole has been converted from a par 5 to a par 4 this year. So the course will now play as a par 71 at 7,414 yards. It features wide fairways, which can favor longer hitters, and typically turns into a birdie fest; Lee won the last 2 years with scores of 26-under par and 25-under.

AT&T Byron Nelson – Expert pick
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 2:34 a.m. ET.
Seamus Power (+3300)
Power has put together a solid track record at this course, finishing 17th and 9th in the last 2 years. He bounced back nicely from a missed cut at the RBC Heritage by tying for 18th at the Wells Fargo Championship last week, getting back on track before the year’s 2nd major. This is a tournament he should contend in on Sunday.
AT&T Byron Nelson picks – Contender
Scott Stallings (+6600)
Stallings tied for 25th here last year after finishing T-3 in 2021, proving to have the game to compete at TPC Craig Ranch. Stallings already has 4 top-25 finishes this season and has made the cut in 11 of his 15 starts, so he’s having a decent 2023 season.
AT&T Byron Nelson picks – Long shots
Nate Lashley (+10000)
Lashley was squarely in the mix at the Wells Fargo Championship last week, finishing T-27 despite shooting 71 and 75 in the final 2 rounds after opening with a 68 and 66 on the 1st 2 days. He has a little bit of momentum coming into this tournament where he tied for 17th last year.
Justin Suh (+9000)
Suh didn’t play TPC Craig Ranch at the AT&T Byron Nelson the last 2 years but he’s made 8 consecutive cuts this season, has finished in the top 25 five times and has 2 top-10 finishes, too. He’s been a steady player this season and consistently hangs around, which gives him a chance to win on Sunday.
