Matt Kuchar is the top-ranked player in the field this week at the HP Byron Nelson Championship. The field also includes other high-powered talent including, Jimmy Walker, Patrick Reed, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Harris English.

Martin Kaymer got his first win since 2011 last week at the Players Championship and will try to win his second consecutive PGA Tour title.

Jordan Spieth grew up in Texas and attended the University of Texas. He played in his first PGA Tour event here in 2010 as a 16-year-old amateur and finished T-16. He proved to himself and everyone else that he could hang with the big boys. He turned professional in 2012 and was the 2013 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.

He has come very close to winning a big tournament with a runner-up finish to Bubba Watson at the Masters in April and a T-4 finish last week at the Players Championship.

He is ranked No. 6 in the FedEx Cup race and No.8 in the Official World Golf Rankings.

The HP Byron Nelson will have big-name star power with Vijay Singh and 15 former major championship winners in the field this week.

When three players, Pat Perez, Scott Verplank and D.H. Lee withdrew from the tournament John Daly was one of the alternates picked to fill their spots.

Sang-Moon Bae slipped past 54-hole leader Keegan Bradley in the final round last year to win the 2013 event. It was his first PGA Tour win and he became the fourth Korean-born player to win on tour.

Patrick Cantlay who earned his tour card via the Web.com Tour last year will be making his 2014 PGA Tour debut this week in Dallas. He was forced to undergo back surgery at the end of last year and is just now able to return to competitive play.

TPC Four Seasons Resort will host the 156-man field that is vying for a piece of the $6.9 million total purse, of which $1.242 million will go to the winner this week.
