The EDS Byron Nelson Championship is a golf tournament on the PGA Tour. The
tournament is held in May at the Four Seasons Resort and Club in the master-planned
communities of Las Colinas of Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas.
The EDS Byron Nelson Championship is the leading fundraiser for charity on the PGA
Tour and is expected to hit the $100 million mark during its 2007 event. For much of its history, it
was the only PGA Tour stop named after a professional golfer; it remains one of only two such
events, along with the Arnold

EDS Byron Nelson Championship Tickets Continued
For the EDS Byron Nelson Championship's first several decades, it was played at a variety of courses in Dallas. Byron Nelson was the tournament's first winner in 1944, when it was played at Lakewood Country Club. The following year it was played at Dallas Country Club, and then in 1946 moved to Brook Hollow Golf Club. For the better part of the next decade the event was not contested, until two iterations of it were held in 1956, both at Preston Hollow Country Club. In 1957 the event moved to Glen Lake Country Club before it began a decade-long relationship with Oak Cliff Country Club from 1958-67. In 1968 the event was renamed the Byron Nelson Golf Classic and its name, through a series of sponsors, has always subsequently been in conjunction with Nelson's name. That same year the event moved to Preston Trail Golf Club, where it was played from 1968-82. In 1983 the event moved to venues in Irving, first at Las Colinas Sports Club from 1983-85, and then at the TPC at Las Colinas from 1986-93.
Since 1994 the EDS Byron Nelson Championship has been played at two courses, the Tournament Players Course and the Cottonwood Valley Course, both located at the Four Seasons. Previously only the TPC was used, but since the tournament is played in May (during the height of the North Texas storm season), the weather played havoc with the tournament in some years, causing several delays and shortened tournaments. Therefore, the decision was made to add the Cottonwood course in order to shorten the amount of time needed to complete the first two rounds. The first two rounds are played on both courses (each player plays one round on each course); after the cut is determined, the TPC is used exclusively for the final two rounds. In 2005 Tiger Woods' record streak of 142 cuts made came to an end at this tournament.
