SuperSport viewers on DStv can look forward to seeing all the action from the PGA Tour’s AT&T Byron Nelson at the Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, Texas from Thursday 12 to Sunday 15 May 2022.
SuperSport is the ultimate destination for Golf fans, with an unparalleled selection of action from around the world.
Established in 1944, this tournament is named after the great Byron Nelson, who won five Major championships and is considered one of the greatest golfers of all time. The 2021 edition of the AT&T Byron Nelson was won by Korean Lee Kyoung-hoon, who shot 263 (-25) to finish three strokes clear of runners-up Sam Burns.
Lee became the third South Korean to win the AT&T Byron Nelson in an eight-year span, after Bae Sang-Moon won in 2013 and Kang Sung-Hoon won in 2019.
“It’s been a long time for me and the conditions were very hard for everybody, but I tried patiently and kept playing positively,” said Lee after his victory.
“I have waited a long time for the win so I am very happy, very excited and very thankful for everybody. I still can’t believe it but this time, I had more belief and my mind was stronger so it was perfect for me. I can’t believe it, I am so excited.”
Lee will be back to defend his title as part of a strong field, which includes new Masters Tournament champion Scottie Scheffler. Tournament director Jon Drago is looking forward to having Scheffler and other North Texas natives compete.
“He’s [Scheffler] actually been a great supporter. He played with us when he was still in high school back in 2014. Every time he’s played, he’s been a great supporter as have all local players been a great supporter of ours,” Drago said.
He added, “We are so excited to have full capacity this year, have everybody out and root for the hometown team.”
The field will also feature the likes of Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Francesco Molinari, Jordan Spieth and Bubba Watson.
The Trinity Forest Golf Club features a par 72, 7,450-yard course and the purse for the AT&T Byron Nelson is $9.1million.
