CJ Cup Byron Nelson scoreboard live updates: Will Scottie Scheffler repeat?

The rain is threatening the 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson after a number of late defections hampered the field.

This leaves one unanswered question: Will hometown hero Scottie Scheffler be able to repeat at the tournament he grew up adoring?

Scheffler turned his hometown event into a runaway a year ago, overwhelming TPC Craig Ranch with a performance that felt less like a victory and more like a statement. His eight-shot win over Erik van Rooyen was clinical and relentless, the world No. 1 matching a PGA Tour record with a 253 total — 31 under par — and leaving little doubt about his command of both the course and the moment.

History at Craig Ranch, though brief, has produced a mix of champions, from Taylor Pendrith’s breakthrough to K.H. Lee’s earlier success. This year’s field again carries that blend of established stars and capable disruptors. Dallas native Jordan Spieth arrives with local support and familiarity, while Si Woo Kim and Brooks Koepka bring the kind of pedigree that suggests they won’t be intimidated by Scheffler’s recent dominance.

Weather looms as a defining force, just as it did 12 months ago when heavy rain interrupted play and reshaped the rhythm of the tournament. Forecasts call for nearly an inch of rain to fall over the day’s play, with additional thunderstorms expected to roll through over the weekend. That kind of instability threatens delays, soft conditions and a potential reshuffling of the competitive landscape.
