The PGA Tour will return to Texas again this year for the CJ CUP. We look at this week’s golf from a betting angle.
We are back to individual stroke play this week after McIlroy and Lowry came from behind to win the Zurich Classic.
The Course
This week’s golf will be played at TPC Craig Ranch, located just north of downtown Dallas. The course, a par 72, spans 7,438 yards, which is just over the tour average. Designed as a parkland course, it features numerous trees and Rowlett Creek, which comes into play on 11 of the 18 holes. Accuracy and good ball striking are key to navigating this challenging layout which is not a stern test with winning scores ranging from -23 to -26 in the last 3 years.

Previous winners
2023 Jason Day (Australia) -23 (1 Stroke)
2022 Kyoung-Hoon Lee (South Korea) −26 (1 strokes)
2021 Kyoung-Hoon Lee (South Korea) −25 (3 strokes)
Selections:
Jordan Spieth each way at 16/1
Spieth finished as runner-up at the 2022 CJ Cup Byron Nelson and placed 9th in the same tournament in 2021. Although he has not been in top form recently, he did finish 10th a few weeks ago. With his familiarity with the course, he could potentially score low over the four days and my main bet will be for him to top 10.
Jason Day at 18/1
Day won last year’s tournament by one stroke and will aim to defend his title this weekend. He had a solid performance two weeks ago at the RBC Heritage, finishing tied for 18th. With the advantage of a weaker field this weekend, he will look to position his name towards the top of the leaderboard and I make him a big runner to defend.
Will Zalatoris at 22/1
Zalatoris has been playing solid golf in recent weeks, achieving two top-10 finishes in his last five starts, including a 4th place finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He didn’t play here in 2023 but had a 17th place finish in 2021. He is a much improved player these days and I see him going close.
Seamus Power at 55/1
My long shot this week has decent course form with 2 top 20’s and a top 10 here in the last 3 years. He showed sign of a welcome return to form in his last start finishing 12th. I will have a small win bet on him with my main bet a top 10 finish at 11/2.
