AT&T Byron Nelson
May 11, 2023 7:00 am EDT
This week, the PGA Tour returns to the state of Texas for the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson.
Before I dive into my favorite golf bet for the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson let’s take a quick look at the golf course the field will play and the key player statistics that I feel are the most vital to a golfer’s performance this week.
The 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson will be played at TPC Craig Ranch in Dallas, Texas. This track is a par 72 that measures approximately 7,468 yards. Tom Weiskopf designed TPC Craig Ranch. It should also be noted that TPC Craig Ranch hosted the AT&T Byron Nelson for the first time in 2021. Keep that in mind as you review any previous tournament form for golfers in this field.
The key player statistics that I will be focusing on this week are GIR (greens in regulation), driving accuracy, strokes gained tee to green, strokes gained approach, and strokes gained putting.
Here is a golfer to consider placing on your card to finish in the top ten.
Matt Kuchar +330
Matt Kuchar arrives at this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson in outstanding form. More specifically, Kuchar has accumulated three consecutive top 23 finishes on the PGA Tour, including a third place result at the Valero Texas Open last month.
Matt Kuchar certainly checks the box for me when it comes to previous tournament history. Let me be more specific. Since 2014, Kuchar has played the AT&T Byron Nelson seven times. In those seven events just mentioned, Kuchar has accumulated five top 17 finishes, including a third place result at the 2016 AT&T Byron Nelson.
In relation to this week’s current listed 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson field, in the last 12 rounds played on the PGA Tour, Matt Kuchar ranks sixth in strokes gained ball striking, sixth in strokes gained off the tee, and second in GIR (greens in regulation)
In summary, I am backing Matt Kuchar to post a top ten finish at odds of +330.
