The next CJ Cup Byron Nelson is Thursday, April 29, to Sunday, May 2, 2027, at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, and Wyndham Clark defends the title. No 2027 outright odds are posted yet, so this page names no price.
Clark won the 2026 edition at 30 under par, three shots clear of Si Woo Kim, after a final-round 60. The event also moves on the calendar: it was played May 21 to 24 in 2026, the week after the PGA Championship, and in 2027 it comes three weeks before it.

Betting the next CJ Cup Byron Nelson
An outright price is a chance written as a payout: +1000 implies 9.1%, +2500 implies 3.8% and +6000 implies 1.6%. A futures bet is worth making only when you rate a golfer’s chance higher than the price does, and at a course where the winner has needed at least 23 under, a player who cannot make birdies in bunches is fighting the setup.
