AT&T Byron Nelson Past Winners: Can Lee Kyoung-hoon Three-Peat?

The 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson will return to TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas on Thursday.

Lee Kyoung-hoon won the last two events in 2022 and 2021 but will not be among the favorites to win for the third consecutive year. A back-to-back champion, Kyoung-hoon enters with +3300 odds to three-peat at the event.

Instead, the No. 2 golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler, will enter TPC Craig Ranch as the odds-on favorite in his home state of Texas.

With the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson right around the corner, we’ll take a look at the history of the event, past winners, and previous sponsors.
