Jason Day and Jordan Spieth are sharing the spotlight as headliners at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Day is the defending champion of the event starting Thursday as TPC Craig Ranch. Spieth is the hometown favorite chasing an elusive Nelson victory. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler normally would play what is also his hometown event.
FILE - Jason Day , of Australia, hits from the bunker on the seventh hole during second round at the Masters golf tournament at Augusta National Golf Club Friday, April 12, 2024, in Augusta, Ga. Day is the defending champion and two-time winner of an event fellow major champion Jordan Spieth would dearly like to win -- Spieth’s hometown CJ Cup Byron Nelson golf tournament. They are the headliners in a field missing most of the big names, including soon-to-be-father Scottie Scheffler.
Because of those heady days, it won’t be the first time Spieth is the top-ranked player in his hometown event. At the moment, the three-time major champion is ranked 20th and one of just three top-30 players in the Nelson. Day is next at No. 22. The Nelson is two venues removed from 2010, when Day was a 22-year-old winner and Spieth was within three shots of the lead on the back nine before settling for 16th. That finish matched his age, and came a week after Spieth competed in the state high school tournament.
The best finish for the 30-year-old at the Nelson came in his most recent appearance two years ago, when he was the runner-up as K.H. Lee defended his title. Spieth was ninth in 2021, the debut of TPC Craig Ranch as a par 72 before a switch to par 71 last year.
