Preparing for another Victory at THE CJ CUP: Byron Nelson's Wagering Guide for a Hat-trick PGA TOUR Success

Ready to roll with the big boys at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson 2025? Let's break down my stacked betting card for this week's tournament at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.

After a triumphant win with Justin Thomas at the 2025 RBC Heritage, I'm back in the game and serving up six mouthwatering picks for THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Here they are in no particular order:

Byeong Hun An (+2800)Let's start this wild ride with a heck of a story. I've got the hunch that Byeong Hun An is gonna end his drought and write a new chapter, my friends. With two DP World Tour wins under his belt, including the Genesis Championship, An is ready to snatch that elusive PGA TOUR victory.

Despite missing three cuts this year, the Korean has been on fire for six weeks, making five consecutive cuts in some of the toughest events, including the Arnold Palmer Invitational, THE PLAYERS, and the Masters. An finished T8 at the Arnold Palmer and T21 at Augusta. Even though he lost strokes putting at Augusta, the course has some of the toughest greens on TOUR - TPC Craig Ranch's greens, thankfully, are a breeze in comparison.

The icing on the cake? An was T14 in 2023 and T4 last year in his only two appearances at the Byron Nelson. Let's ride this train and cash in!

Jake Knapp (+6000) sank that birdie putt at the 2025 Masters with a fierce determination that sent shockwaves through the TOUR. Now, I'm backing him for another top-tier performance at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson.

Bombers have thrived at the Byron Nelson since it moved to TPC Craig Ranch in 2021, and Knapp brings a solid blend of power and accuracy to the table. He's climbing up the rankings, too – listen up, folks, because you should keep an eye on this guy.

Knapp was the only golfer in the top 29 at the 2024 Byron Nelson to shoot a 70+ on Sunday. He finished third at the 2024 Mexico Open, Masters rookie at the 2025 Masters, and made four straight top-25 finishes in February and March, including a T17 at The Genesis Invitational, T25 at Mexico, T6 at the Cognizant Classic, and T12 at THE PLAYERS Championship.

And let's not forget about that Cognizant tournament – Knapp shot a course-record 59 (-12) in the first round. To win the Byron Nelson, you've gotta "go low," and Knapp's got the game to pull it off.

Michael Thorbjornsen (+8000)You know those prodigious talents with the nerves of steel? That's my next pick, Michael Thorbjornsen. The young phenom got his full-time TOUR status just like Ludvig Åberg did a couple of years ago – by being the PGA TOUR University's valedictorian.

Thorbjornsen's impressive power off the tee and a birdie-feast course like TPC Craig Ranch could be a recipe for success. His resume speaks for itself – a T2 at the 2024 John Deere Classic, a fourth-place finish at the 2022 Travelers Championship as an amateur, and a T2 at the 2024 Corales Puntacana Championship two weeks ago.

So, what happened in 2025? He's been a bit underwhelming, but I believe he's got the talent to come out swinging at the Byron Nelson. And, best of all, we're snagging long odds for this lad.

Davis Riley (+11000)He might not have the flashiest name, but believe me, Davis Riley is worth betting on. After a disastrous start to the season, Riley has found his footing, stringing together six straight cuts. He's got a win under his belt, too – the 2024 Byron Nelson.

Now, let's dive into his game: Riley is a solid putter and very decent around the greens. The problem? Driving consistency has been an issue, but if he can iron that out at TPC Craig Ranch, he's got a chance to make some noise and rake in a hefty profit.

So there you go, folks, my fiery forecast for THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Be bold, bet big, and keep the spirit of golf alive.

A quick shoutout to my lovely girlfriend, who convinced me to switch my One-And-Done pick from An to Knapp – can't argue with two winners this season!

Until next time, stay classy.
