2017 Byron Nelson

The Byron Nelson has been a premier event on the PGA TOUR since 1968. Dallas/Fort Worth’s biggest sports attraction and most anticipated social event of the spring is also the most financially successful charity event on the PGA TOUR.

The 2017 Byron Nelson marks the tournament’s 35th and final year in Irving. “Celebrating our 35-year partnership with the Irving community and the Four Seasons is the big theme of this year’s tournament,” said Tim Costello, 2017 AT&T Byron Nelson Tournament Chair. “The best part of our longtime partnership is the impact it’s had on our community, helping raise more than $150 million for Momentous Institute, impacting over 100,000 lives.”

The Byron Nelson celebrates the life and legacy of Mr. Nelson, our tournament namesake and friend, who passed away in 2006, but has been a part of the tournament since it began in 1968.

One of the true legends of professional golf, Mr. Nelson etched out a career unlike anyone who played the game before or anyone who has played since. While his awe-inspiring accomplishments in the game of golf are widely revered, Mr. Nelson was perhaps best known as a true gentleman of the game. His kindness and dedication to his community won the respect and admiration of his peers, present-day players and fans of all ages.

In 1945, Mr. Nelson accomplished an incredible winning streak that has not been challenged to this day and will likely stand forever. He finished that year with 18 victories, including 11 straight, and established a record for the lowest scoring average (68.33), which remained untouched for 55 years.
