TPC Craig Ranch returns for the 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson after a $25 million Lanny Wadkins-led renovation. The greens were rebuilt with 777 bent grass — faster and firmer than the prior surface — while the fairways were replaced with Zoysia and the rough is now TifTuf Bermuda. The greens were also reshaped to expand pin locations - all in an effort to increase course difficulty. The rough conversion is the biggest fantasy-relevant change: Craig Ranch was historically one of the most forgiving courses on tour off the tee and around the green, but the new Bermuda rough adds potential penalty for missed fairways & greens. The par-5 fifth was lengthened by 40 yards to 624 yards creating a true 3-shot par 5 with a massive new "Hell's Half Acre" waste bunker dividing the landing zone. #12 is now a risk-reward par 5, while #18 is now a strong par 4. The setup will produce more long-iron approaches (200+ yards) and short wedges (under 100), squeezing the middle of the iron set. Despite the renovation, scoring should still be low - expect a birdie-fest with elite ball-strikers and bombers separating from the field.
At the top of the board, three Texans stand out with the ceiling to win outright: Scottie Scheffler, Si Woo Kim, and Jordan Spieth.
