NOTES: World No. 2 and Dallas native Scottie Scheffler headlines the slightly weaker-than-average field in between last week’s designated event and next week’s major, the PGA Championship. Tyrrell Hatton of England, Tom Kim of South Korea and Hideki Matsuyama of Japan are the only other top-25 players in the field. … Jordan Spieth, who also calls the Dallas area home, withdrew from the event Monday citing a left wrist injury. His status for the PGA Championship is in doubt after he said the injury needed evaluation “week to week.” … Lee is the two-time defending champion, posting a final-round 63 to hold off Spieth’s late push and go 26 under for the week. … TPC Craig Ranch played as a par-72 last year but is now a par-71 for the pros after No. 12 was changed from a par 5 to a par 4. … A PGA Championship berth is on offer if the player who wins this week is not already in the field. … Among those receiving sponsor exemptions this week are twins Pierceson and Parker Coody, who starred at the University of Texas.

BEST BETS: Scheffler (+333 at BetMGM) hasn’t finished worse than tied for 12th at a PGA tournament since October. He has played the Byron Nelson just twice and finished 15th in 2022. … Hatton (+1200) held the 36-hole lead at last week’s Wells Fargo Championship before tying for third, his fourth top-10 of the season. He’s still searching for his second win on the PGA Tour. … Jason Day (+1600) missed the cut last week but nonetheless has the fourth-shortest odds at BetMGM, thanks to his six top-10s this season. He won the event in 2010 before it moved to TPC Craig Ranch. … Matsuyama (+2200) fired a final-round 62 to tie for third here last season. This will be his first appearance since the Masters in early April. … Lee (+2200) has shown an obvious affinity for the course and has an enticing number for a two-time defending champ. He’s also coming off a T8 at last week’s Wells Fargo.

NOTES: This event has been played since 2011 to celebrate the 13 founders of the LPGA. This will mark the first time it’s played since the remaining founders were elected for World Golf Hall of Fame induction in March. … Lee bested Lexi Thompson in a close final-round finish in 2022, with a birdie at the 72nd hole to claim the victory. … Lee is coming off a successful week at the International Crown in which she helped the Australian team place second to Thailand. … Two-time winner Jin Young Ko of South Korea (2019, 2021) and Lee are two of the eight top-10 ranked players in the field.
