AT&T Byron Nelson History
The Byron Nelson Classic can be traced back to 1926 when the Dallas Open was played. It took a long break and returned as the Texas Victory Open in 1944 where the namesake himself Byron Nelson won by 10 strokes. It went through a few name changes during the following 24 years. Then in 1968, the Dallas Open Invitational was officially renamed the Byron Nelson Classic. And has been so ever since.
