The PGA Tour is back this week with the 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas, and the World No. 1 is a lopsided betting favorite in his home state. Here is everything you need to know about the CJ Cup Byron Nelson odds and other betting favorites to start the week.
CJ Cup Byron Nelson betting favorites
No one, not even World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, can win every tournament. He finished T14 at last week’s PGA Championship and runner-up in each of his three starts before that.
Despite that reality, Scheffler is the betting favorite in every tournament he tees it up in right now. This week at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, his odds are even more lopsided than usual. It is his hometown event, after all, during which he’ll be able to sleep in his own bed.
Scheffler comes into the week with +150 odds-to-win.
The next player in the pre-tournament odds doesn’t come close to Scheffler. Si Woo Kim is in second with distant +1250 odds.
In third is a player who, like Scheffler, is a Texan with more than two major championship wins: Jordan Spieth (+2000).
Brooks Koepka (+2700) and Keith Mitchell (+3300) close out the top 5. Newly minted PGA champion Aaron Rai starts the week with +4300 odds-to-win.
