Pierceson Coody at +4579 tops Geoffery Clark’s six-player betting card for the 2026 CJ CUP Byron Nelson, alongside Michael Thorbjornsen (+4800), Davis Thompson (+5400), Tom Kim (+7200), Michael Brennan (+7800) and Jhonattan Vegas (+23400).
Clark argues TPC Craig Ranch’s offseason overhaul — including new Zoysiagrass fairways, Bermudagrass rough and Bentgrass greens after Scottie Scheffler’s eight-shot, 31-under win last year — should punish missed fairways more, though he still expects a low-scoring birdie-fest.
That volatility led him to avoid placement bets and focus only on outrights, with Coody also his one-and-done pick after recent signature-event results and strong Bentgrass putting at last week’s PGA Championship.
The rest of the card leans on course-fit and recent form: Thorbjornsen’s long-iron game, Thompson’s tee-to-green surge, Kim’s rebound potential, Brennan’s power profile and Vegas’s 234-to-1 price after ranking second in tee-to-green play at the PGA.

After a $25 million overhaul to increase difficulty, will TPC Craig Ranch finally tame the PGA Tour's top scorers this week?

Could a common turfgrass disease, Dollar Spot, secretly determine the winner of the Byron Nelson on its newly renovated greens?
