AT&T Byron Nelson 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.

AT&T Byron Nelson Past Winners

Lee Kyoung-hoon has won the AT&T Byron Nelson each of the last two years, taking home over $3.09 million in earnings in the process.

Kyoung-hoon is back to defend his title in 2023 but history is not on his side.

Tom Watson (four) and Sam Snead (three) are the only players to ever win the AT&T Byron Nelson more than twice. Other players to win the event twice include Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples, Bruce Lietzke, and most recently, Sergio Garcia.
