The opening of The CJ Cup Byron Nelson (total prize money of $9.5 million) hosted by Korean company CJ is just 30 days away.

The CJ Cup Byronelson will be held for four days from May 2 at TPC Crake Ranch in Dallas, Texas. Winners will receive 500 FedEx points, two-year tour seeds, and a berth to the signature competition.

The competition was held as The CJ Cup until 2022, but from this year, it has been participating as Byron Nelson's title sponsor for 10 years, expanding its scale. CJ, the host of the event, plans to showcase various attractions and entertainment as the best golf festival for both players and fans.

The legacy of The CJ Cup melted by "The CJ Cup Byron Nelson."

The CJ Cup was held at Club Nine Bridge (Jeju) for three years starting in 2017, and the next three years were held in Nevada and South Carolina due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As it has been transformed into a new competition with Byron Nelson from this year, CJ Group will continue its tradition by inheriting the legacy of The CJ Cup to The CJ Cup byron Nelson as much as possible.

"The CJ Cup Byron Nelson" is a representative competition in Dallas that began in 1944 and has been named after PGA Tour legend Byron Nelson since 1968. The competition is hosted by the Dallas Salesmanship Club of Dallas, a non-profit organization in Dallas, Texas, and is well known in Korea with South Korean players including Lee Kyung-hoon, Kang Sung-hoon and Bae Sang-moon winning four times.

In particular, CJ's Lee Kyung-hoon made a deep connection with the tournament by winning it two consecutive years in 2021 and 2022, and last year, Australia's Jason Day won the PGA Tour again for the first time in five years.

The CJ Cup plans to continue its focus on incorporating various cultures such as K-golf and K-food into the Byron Nelson competition, which boasts history and tradition.

First of all, the CJ Cup trophy, which was created with the motif of Korean and Jikji Shimcheyojeol, the world's oldest metal type printing, will be used in "The CJ Cup byron Nelson" as it is. Unlike the last competition, where all the participants' names were imprinted in Korean, the "The CJ Cup byron Nelson" will have its own names engraved on the winners. In fact, the names of Korean players who lifted the trophy including defending champion Jason Day, Lee Kyung-hoon, Kang Sung-hoon and Bae Sung-moon, as well as PGA Tour legends including Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Sam Snead, Tom Watson, Fred Couples and Ernie Els will be engraved on the trophy.

The Bridge Kids program, which has been held since 2017, where golf dream trees and PGA Tour players meet to talk together and give one-point lessons, will continue.

In this year's tournament, Ahn Byung-hoon and PGA Tour stars will meet with 10 promising golf players in Dallas and Korea to support their dreams. In addition, CJ Group provides an opportunity to watch every round of the "The CJ Cup Byron Nelson" competition so that young players can dream bigger.

 "The CJ Cup Byron Nelson" will once again promote Bibigo to the world

The CJ Cup has also made great efforts to globalize K-foods through the event. Throughout the event, the Korean team introduced a variety of Korean food, earning the nickname "the best restaurant in the PGA Tour."

Players who have experienced the CJ Cup have also been fascinated by Korean food served at the stadium. At this year's event, CJ Group plans to introduce the charm of K-food by providing dishes using Bibigo-branded products at "Players' Dining," which serves meals for participants. In particular, it plans to introduce new menus to celebrate the newly created "The CJ Cup byron Nelson." Korean fans also joined the selection of the menu, adding to its significance.

CJ Group also operated the "Bibigo Convention" to showcase and taste Korean food to fans all over the world who visit the site, providing an opportunity to effectively introduce the taste of various Korean foods, including dumplings, the main product of Bibigo. In addition, through various on-site events to experience Bibigo, it plans to further accelerate the globalization of K-food by delivering the value of "Live Delicious," which means "a daily life that tastes better in Korean food."  메이저사이트
