McKINNEY, Texas — It’s Moving Day at TPC Craig Ranch, where the scores got surprisingly lower on Friday, even after a $25 million renovation.
Today’s round of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson has been moved around due to weather concerns, but considering the thought earlier in the week that much of the golf might be rained out, a little afternoon inconvenience should mean too much. Preferred lies are in effect, and it’s likely the scores will continue to stay low.

Si Woo Kim entered the day with a sizable lead, but with the way players have been spitting out birdies at this Dallas suburb, anything can happen.

What are the hole locations for Saturday?
Here are the pin placements on TPC Craig Ranch on Saturday.
TPC Craig Ranch has a new look
During his redesign, Lanny Wadkins refigured all the bunkering and green complexes.
Most of the bunkers at Craig Ranch before were not really right against the putting surfaces. They were set back, which is really more of a hindrance to the guys who don’t play as well. So, you’re hurting the members,” Wadkins said. “Our bunkering is right up against the greens for the most part, at least around the greens. The greens have a lot more movement in them than they did before.

TPC Craig Ranch, the host of the PGA Tour’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson, has been renovated by Lanny Wadkins’ design firm.
“We’ve got a green that emulates No. 14 of Augusta on No. 11. So, it’s a big false front you’ve got to carry up over, but there’s plenty of room back there. So, the one thing we did was most of the locations where the holes are going to be placed, they’re only 1 or 2 percent. So, they’re very, very puttable and very fair, but there is movement in the rest of the greens. So, I think that’s going to be the biggest thing they’re going to notice. The bunkers will be deeper.”

Although Craig Ranch is fairly flat, it’s not short, as the private club has previously played to 7,414 yards with a par of 72 for the Tour. The distance didn’t radically change, but the waste bunkers and tighter fairways should give pros more of a challenge.

The total purse for the 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson is $10.3 million.
