AT&T Byron Nelson 2022: Preview, betting tips & how to watch

It’s a trip to Texas for the PGA Tour this week, as the players stop off at the AT&T Byron Nelson.

It’s a strong field, headlined by the world No. 1, in-form Scottie Scheffler. He’s won four out of his last seven tournaments, so look out for him.

The defending champion this week is K.H. Lee, who made it two wins from two for the Republic of Korea at the AT&T, as he defeated defending champion Sung Kang. Fellow South Korean Sangmoon Bae lifted the trophy as well, back in 2013.

The event is a popular one with the Dallas locals, who have sold out the tournament for the first time since 2008. That’s more than a week in advance of the tournament starting, so expect to see healthy and raucous crowds this week on the tour.

Last year, TPC Craig Ranch yielded pretty low scoring, with K.H. Lee getting to 25-under-par by the end of the week. That was the course’s first year hosting the event, so this time around you might see some tougher scoring conditions. 

This is the last chance for players to get ready for next week’s PGA Championship. For some, they’ll be looking to win and get some momentum going into the major, for others, it’s all about working on their swing rather than worrying about their score. For those of us looking to pick a winner, this can make things tricky. 

With that being said, let’s take a look at all the essential details you need to know before the event…

The bunkered Bet

Tom Hoge (110/1): Hoge is a long shot, but with those odds he is seriously overpriced. He’s already won this year, and is ranked in the top-40 in the world. Plus, he went to college in Texas, so he’ll have plenty support from the crowd.
