NOTES: TPC Craig Ranch will play host to the event for the sixth time. It has undergone a $25 million overhaul since last year's tournament led by World Golf Hall of Fame member Lanny Wadkins. ...

Sponsors exemptions include Yongjun Bae, Mason Howell, William Sides and Preston Stout. ... Brandt Snedeker currently leads the Aon Swing 5, with the top five players if not otherwise exempt after next week's Charles Schwab Challenge earning spots into the next signature event at the Memorial Tournament.

BEST BETS: Scottie Scheffler (+168 at DraftKings) is a Dallas resident who set the tournament scoring record and tied the PGA Tour scoring record while winning by eight shots last year. ... Si Woo Kim (+1275) is also a Dallas resident who finished T2 here in 2023. He has already set a career high with six top-10 finishes through 14 starts this season. ... Jordan Spieth (+1750) is yet another Dallas resident. This will be his 14th career start in the event, with his best previous finish a runner-up in 2022. ...
