Pressure Intensifies on Jay Monahan as $9.9M Event Faces Adverse Conditions Amid Back-to-Back Withdrawals

Has the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson ended even before it could begin? After watching Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin lift their first PGA Tour titles at the 2025 Zurich Classic, fans were excited for the next event on the schedule. With Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth back on the field, things were bound to get heated up at TPC Craig Ranch. However, the latest reports suggest that the Texas event might face some issues hours before tee-off.

The golf fraternity was surprised to learn of the withdrawal of two great players from the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Both Gary Woodland and Will Zalatoris confirmed that they will not be playing the PGA Tour event this week. If that wasn’t enough, headlines have also stated that TPC Craig Ranch is currently flooded, as tweeted by The Shotgun Start a few minutes ago, “Zalatoris and Woodland WDs and a deluge to make it extra soft for the fellas. Another bad Wednesday at the CJ CUP BYRON NELSON.” This adds to the headache of Jay Monahan & Co. who had already faced backlash for the broadcast fumble in the final round of the 2025 Zurich Classic.
