Byron Nelson Leaving Trinity Forest After 2020

Byron Nelson Golf Tournament set to move from Trinity Forest, source confirms

It is not yet known where the tournament will be played in 2021.

Looks like the PGA tour has seen the error of its ways.  Building a course with no shade in Texas that's at least 15 minutes from any hotels/restaurants was not sustainable.   They now have a crucial decision to make going into 2021.   My thought would be take a look at TPC Craig Ranch if they don't want to go back to Las Colinas.

@ElWagonne first I've heard this! I knew spectator numbers were down; was TV share down too? Thanks, -Marv

It's disappointing because the course was unlike (in a good way) so many of the others on the PGA Tour.

It's a bummer. We don't get to see too many Coore/Crenshaw courses on Tour, even as they take over every top 100 list. I think the only one now will be Kapalua.

Some people are taking this as a referendum or something on minimalist courses on Tour, etc. But really it was about the site - there were no trees for shade, it was 15 miles from anything, etc.
