The PGA Tour returns to Texas this week for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, played near Dallas. The following two weeks feature a Signature Event and a Major, so several top golfers are continuing to take time off ahead of that stretch.

However, there are still some notable names and plenty to play for in One And Done Pools.

• Lowry was the top recommendation in our Zurich article if you could pick him while getting McIlroy as well.
• McIlroy and Lowry beat the team of Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer in a playoff to win the event.
• The pre-tournament favorite team of Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele finished in a tie for 23rd.

The CJ Cup Byron Nelson has a total purse of $9.5 million with $1.71 million going to first place. That actually makes it the highest purse event on the 2024 PGA Tour outside of the Signature Events, Playoff Events, and Majors.

Still, there is a drop-off in prize purse from the Signature Events. However, as we’ll detail below with discussion of the field, we do not have to worry too much about saving future value in making the choice this week.
