Lord Byron Nelson

Byron Nelson was the tournament's first winner in 1944, when it was played at Lakewood Country Club. The following year it was played at Dallas Country Club, and then in 1946 moved to Brook Hollow Golf Club. For the better part of the next decade the event was not contested, until two iterations of it were held in 1956, both at Preston Hollow Country Club. In 1957 the event moved to Glen Lake Country Club before it began a decade-long relationship with Oak Cliff Country Club from 1958-67. In 1968 the event was renamed the Byron Nelson Golf Classic and its name, through a series of sponsors, has always subsequently been in conjunction with Nelson's name.

The Byron Nelson is currently sponsored by HP and called the HP Byron Nelson Championship. Although for many years it was the EDS Byron Nelson Classic. Prior to that both Verizon and GTE were corporatesponsors. The tournament has been played under the Byron Nelson name since 1968.
