HP Byron Nelson Championship - Vegas Odds, Free Picks, + Tee Times

Getting started on Thursday, May 15th, the 2014 HP Byron Nelson is expected to bring some of the better up and coming players on the PGA Tour to the tee following THE PLAYERS Championship last weekend. While there won't be $10M in prizes like last week, there will still be $6.9M on the line with $1,242,000 going to whoever is crowned the winner on Sunday, May 18th - 500 FedEx Cup points will also be awarded to the winner.

Jumping back to Texas once again, the 2014 PGA Tour schedule begins its second stint in the Lone Star State as both the Valero Texas Open + Shell Houston Open were both played in the two weeks leading up to the 2014 Masters. The home of this tournament since 2008, TPC Four Seasons Resort is situated in Irving, Texas and this tough par-70 should have no problem getting plenty of support and interest from the local population.

If you are unable to attend this event, don't worry because Golf Channel + CBS will be teaming up to bring several hours of live coverage Thursday thru Sunday. Look below to get the full rundown of live network coverage including times and channel:

Vegas Odds For HP Byron Nelson Championship

Despite the letdown after the 2014 PLAYERS Championship, the field for the HP Byron Nelson Championship is surprisingly good. Take a quick look below at all of the betting odds for this week's golf tournament and note the player names beside those betting lines... a few of those names might just surprise you!

Starting at 12 to 1 (+1200) both Jordan Spieth and Matt Kuchar are favored to walk away with the championship, but there are more than a few players that would have something to say about that. Look no further than last week's winner Martin Kaymer + current FedEx Cup points leader Jimmy Walker to contend and you simply can't rule out names like Dustin Johnson (+2500), Jason Dufner (+4000) or Brandt Snedeker (+5000) this week.

As usual Bovada has supplied the odds to win the HP Byron Nelson Championship that we're referencing this week and the odds to win will be available all the way up until Thursday morning and then they will only be available between rounds.

If that is the case, be sure to double check with our live golf odds which are shown just a bit further down our guide to the 2014 Byron Nelson Championship.

Free Picks For HP Byron Nelson Championship

To Win 2014 HP Byron Nelson Championship - Though Martin Kaymer tabbed a top-five finish at the 2013 HP Byron Nelson Championship and is the hot pick because of his win at THE PLAYERS Championship last weekend, we're predicting that win took too much out of him to contend this week. For that reason we're going to go with Matt Kuchar (12/1, +1200) over Martin Kaymer (18/1, +1800). Kooch finished T17 at THE PLAYERS, but prior to that he has four-straight top-five finishes including a win at the 2014 RBC Heritage a few weeks ago. At 12/1 this week, Kuchar is favored alongside Jordan Spieth but this is one week we're thinking the winner comes from the front of the pack.

Darkhorse Value Bet To Win - At 80/1 (+8000) a wager on England's Brian Davis might be worth taking a shot if you're looking deeper down the board for more value. After finishing T11 last week at THE PLAYERS his performance, including a final round 67, could very well provide the momentum going into this week. Should that end up spilling over into this week, watch out because Davis has proven to have the confidence needed to contend coming down the stretch.
