The Byron Nelson, a historic golf tournament on the PGA Tour, has a rich legacy dating back to 1926 when it was first known as the Dallas Open. After a hiatus, the tournament returned in 1944 as the Texas Victory Open, famously won by Byron Nelson himself. In 1968, the event was officially renamed the Byron Nelson Classic, forever linking it to the legendary golfer. It stands as one of only two PGA Tour events named after a professional golfer, the other being the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
