Inside the field: G4D Tour at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson

Change Text Size

The G4D Tour will stage its first-ever event in conjunction with a PGA TOUR tournament at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, with 10 of the world’s best golfers with a disability competing in the United States.

Held April 29-30 at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, host venue of THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, the new event features eight leading males and the top two females in the gross World Rankings for Golfers with a Disability (WR4GD).

Among those aiming to showcase their talent on the global stage are world No. 1 Kipp Popert, with the Englishman seeking to claim his 10th G4D Tour title.

Joining him in the field for the two-day stroke-play event are Americans Chris Biggins and Ryanne Jackson, who is the only first-time participant on the G4D Tour.

Ahead of the G4D Tour at THE CJ Cup Byron Nelson getting underway on Monday, here's a look at the 10 inspiring athletes set to tee it up.

Kipp Popert

• World ranking (gross): 1
• G4D Tour titles: 9
• Sport class: Standing 2
• Impairment: Weakness and spasticity in legs
• Nationality: English

Born with cerebral palsy, Popert is a high-profile advocate for the inclusive power of golf. Despite the physical challenges he has faced growing up and overcoming multiple surgeries, he has reached the summit of the game, thriving on the international stage. Having only first heard about the competitive opportunities open to talented golfers with a disability in 2019 through EDGA, formerly known as the European Disabled Golf Association, he has since won around the world, including on no fewer than nine occasions since the launch of the G4D Tour in 2022. An inspiration to many, he competed in The Amateur Championship – organized by The R&A – last summer and challenged himself in events alongside leading professionals. Won the U.S. Adaptive Open – established by the USGA – last summer and claimed further silverware on his most recent G4D Tour start in Kenya earlier this year.

Brendan Lawlor

• World ranking: 2
• G4D Tour titles: 1
• Sport class: Standing 3
• Impairment: Short stature and limbs
• Nationality: Irish

One of the most recognized golfers with a disability worldwide, Lawlor was born with a rare condition called Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, characterized by a shorter stature and shorter limbs. Since playing in his first EDGA event in 2017, the Irishman has competed around the world with great distinction. Having turned professional in 2019, he made history by becoming the first player with a disability to compete on the DP World Tour at the ISPS HANDA UK Championship in August 2020. Despite having won numerous EDGA titles over the years, including guiding his nation to win the European Team Championship in 2022, he had to wait until the inaugural G4D Open to claim his first G4D Tour title as he edged out Popert for victory. He has finished second and third in his two starts on the G4D Tour so far this season.

Chris Biggins

• World ranking: 3
• G4D Tour titles: 0
• Nationality: American

The American, who has cerebral palsy, will hope playing on home soil can lead to his maiden title on the G4D Tour after a series of strong results. With top-five finishes in his last three G4D Tour starts, he is among the most consistent performers in the game. He claimed victory at the EDGA Cazoo Classic in 2021, which coincided with an event on the DP World Tour at London Golf Club. Away from competition, he is the director of player development at The Country Club of Birmingham in Alabama. In that role, the 2019 U.S. Disabled Open Golf Association Championship winner coaches youngsters.

Juan Postigo Arce

• World ranking: 4
• G4D Tour titles: 2
• Sport class: Standing 1
• Impairment: Leg length difference
• Nationality: Spanish

Born without much of his right leg and no knee, the incredibly talented Spaniard is another of the leading ambassadors in the game. Born in the same part of Northern Spain as Seve Ballesteros, he has received widespread acclaim and continues to play an important role in raising awareness about the great number of players with a disability competing competitively. A proven champion, having been a three-time successive winner of the European Golf Association’s (EGA) European Championship for Golfers with Disability, Postigo Arce has since won twice on the G4D Tour – with both occasions coming last season in Abu Dhabi and Sweden respectively. He competed in the "Champions Challenge" on the eve of The 150th Open Championship at St Andrews in 2022.

Kurtis Barkley

• World ranking: 6
• Impairment: Spinal stiffness
• Nationality: Canadian

Mike Browne

• World ranking: 7
• Impairment: Amputation above knee

Like his counterparts, Browne’s story is inspiring. A former soldier, the Englishman had his left leg amputated from the knee down following an infection that arose after a training accident almost a decade ago. Despite only starting to play golf in 2014, he turned professional in 2016. One of the longest drivers in the world, he first tasted success on the G4D Tour during its inaugural season in Ireland in 2022. A second followed last year over Jumeirah Golf Estates’ renowned Earth Course in Dubai, where he was the only player in the field to finish under par in the weather-shortened event.

Tomasso Perrino

• World ranking: 8
• Impairment: Weakness and stiffness of the lead leg
• Nationality: Australian

Perrino competed against major champion and compatriot Francesco Molinari as a boy, but a motor scooter accident aged 18 curtailed his progress. Already a winner on the G4D Tour, having won in Northern Ireland in 2022, he has since become one of the most consistent performers. In 2023, he recorded top-five finishes in five consecutive G4D Tour appearances and became the first Italian to win the EGA’s European Championship in the Netherlands last July. Perrino featured in the All-Star Match ahead of the 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club alongside Popert and fellow sportsmen such as Novak Djokovic and Gareth Bale.

Lachlan Wood

• World ranking: 9

When aged 16, Wood was seriously injured in a car accident, resulting in his left leg being held together by 14 screws and a metal plate, while he has so far faced more than 40 surgeries. The leading player on the established World Ranking for Golfers with Disability from Australia, he is looking to continue his impressive start to the 2024 G4D Tour campaign. He secured his maiden win at the Australian All Abilities Championship @ the ISPS HANDA Australian Open in December, before finishing runner-up to Popert in Kenya in February.

Daphne van Houten

• Nationality: Dutch

A routine physical screening at just 12 years old found a life-changing issue in van Houten’s back. She became the first woman to break into the top 10 of the World Ranking for Golfers with Disability in mid-2019. She was part of the inaugural field on the G4D Tour at The Belfry in 2022 and made her most recent appearance in Kenya. She won the EGA's Champion Women Golfer with Disability in 2018 and is a key member of the Dutch national setup. Her golfing hero is compatriot Anne van Dam, who plays on the Ladies European Tour and LPGA.

Ryanne Jackson

• World ranking: 66
• Impairment: Muscle weakness in arms and legs

Jackson has muscular dystrophy, a condition which causes the muscles in her shoulders and legs to weaken over time. While she first picked up a club at the age of 2, it was when she was 6 that she began the play sport regularly and declared herself a "lefty" despite being right-handed. Coached from a young age by her father, like both her older sisters, her diagnosis only came in her freshman year a college after struggling to understand the cause of physical tiredness she suffered from. Won the U.S. Adaptive Open at Pinehurst last summer and is now set for her debut on the G4D Tour.

The 2024 G4D Tour schedule comprises nine tournaments held in six different countries and includes a major championship with The G4D Open in May, which is run in partnership by The R&A and the DP World Tour.

There are only two weeks left before the next major championship in men's professional golf: the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, on May 16-19.

The LPGA Tour is taking the week off with its second major, the U.S. Women's Open presented by Ally in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, right around the corner on May 30-June 2.

Even with many of the sport's best golfers not playing this week, including red-hot Scottie Scheffler and Nelly Korda , there are still tournaments to watch.

What's next on the PGA Tour

The CJ Cup Byron Nelson When: Thursday-Sunday Where: TPC Craig Ranch, McKinney, Texas Defending champion: Jason Day Purse: $9.5 million ($1.71 million to winner)

Day's defense

With Will Zalatoris pulling out because of his back injury flaring up, the field for this week's event isn't exactly stacked, with most of the tour's top golfers taking a break before a two-week stretch that includes a signature event (Wells Fargo Championship) and major championships (PGA Championship).

Only seven of the top 30 players in the FedEx Cup standings and 10 of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking are competing at TPC Craig Ranch, led by Jordan Spieth , the 20th-ranked player in the world.

Last year, Day snapped a 105-start winless streak with a 1-stroke victory over Si Woo Kim and Austin Eckroat . On Wednesday, Day committed to playing in the Olympics golf tournament Aug. 1-4 at Le Golf National outside Paris. Sixty golfers will compete in both the men's and women's tournaments; Day is currently the highest-ranked man from Australia at No. 13 in the Olympic Golf Ranking.

Day, 36, skipped the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro because of concerns about the Zika virus.

"Probably looking back on it, I wish I would've gone to Rio," Day said. "Had one of those spots and at the time we were having kids, and then obviously there was that scare, so I was kind of like a little bit freaked out about that.

"I wish I would've gone, but if I get the opportunity to go and represent the country, my country, Australia, and get to go to Paris, that would be an absolute blast, an honor to do that. To be able to call yourself an Olympian would be even better. If I get the opportunity, I'm 100% going."

Tiger on track for three more majors

Tiger Woods made the rounds on late night and morning shows this week to promote his new golf and lifestyle brand, Sun Day Red, which was made available to the public Wednesday.

Ready. Set. Hunt. Sun Day Red has officially arrived. Shop our very first collection: https://t.co/VLKSruDzyh #SunDayRed pic.twitter.com/M7kChYvKQP — SUN DAY RED (@SunDayRed) May 1, 2024

During an appearance on "Today" on Wednesday, Woods said his plan was still to play one tournament a month -- the PGA Championship in May, U.S. Open in June and The Open in July.

"I have basically the next three months," Woods said. "So I have three majors, and hopefully that will all work out."

Last month, Woods set a Masters record with his 24th consecutive made cut, which broke the previous mark he shared with Fred Couples (1983-2007) and Gary Player (1959-1982).

Woods carded 82-77 on the weekend at Augusta National and finished last among players to make the cut at 16-over 304, his worst 72-hole total in a professional event.

The 15-time major champion said he was sore after playing at the Masters and takes cold plunges "religiously" to keep playing.

The Open will be bigger

The R&A announced this week that 250,000 fans will walk through the gates of Royal Troon Golf Course in Scotland for the Open Championship on July 18-21. That will be the biggest crowd in the 10 Opens played at Royal Troon; 173,000 tickets were made available when Henrik Stenson defeated Phil Mickelson by three shots in the last one played there in 2016.

It will be the third-largest crowd in Open Championship history -- 290,000 tickets were available for the 150th Open at St. Andrews in Scotland in 2022 and 260,000 were distributed at Royal Liverpool in Hoylake, England, last year.

One person who wasn't given a ticket to The Open at Royal Troon is LIV Golf CEO and commissioner Greg Norman . Norman wasn't invited to the 150th anniversary celebration at St. Andrews two years ago, and the R&A apparently hasn't made passes available for him this year, either.

Norman, who won The Open in 1986 and 1993, attended the Masters in April after buying badges on the resale market, according to his son, Greg Norman Jr.

"I don't think there's a G. Norman [on the ticket list]," R&A corporate communications director Mike Woodcock told reporters Tuesday. "I think they would have let me know if there was. So I'm not aware that he's bought a ticket so far.

"Obviously, there are tickets still available on the resale platform or hospitality. He's very welcome to look there.'"

Rahm looks to end drought

Two-time major championship winner Jon Rahm still hasn't won an individual title as the LIV Golf League hits the halfway point of its 14-tournament schedule. The Spanish golfer hasn't played poorly -- he's the only golfer to finish in the top 10 in each of the first six events and leads the circuit with 95 birdies.

Rahm tied for third at 16 under in Australia last week, 2 strokes behind winner Brendan Steele . He has broken par in 17 of 18 rounds this season.

Rahm is coming off a disappointing title defense at the Masters, where he tied for 45th at 9 over, 20 strokes behind winner Scheffler.

Ryder Cup reprieve?

Rahm did receive some good news last week from new DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings, who told reporters in London that he and other LIV golfers could play for the European team at the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York by maintaining their DP World Tour membership and accepting fines and suspensions.

"If we look at the eligibility criteria for 2023, I think there has been a slight misconception," Kinnings told reporters in London. "The reality is that, under the current system, if a player is European and is a member of the DP World Tour and abides by the rules in place, he is eligible."

Golfers are required to play in four DP World Tour events, outside of the majors, to maintain their memberships. They're suspended from playing in one DP World Tour event for each LIV Golf event in which they compete without a release from Kinnings.

The same rules would apply for England's Tyrrell Hatton and others. Longtime European team members Sergio Garcia , Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter were ineligible to compete in the Ryder Cup in Rome last year because they resigned their DP World Tour memberships.

Rahm could conceivably play in the Spanish Open, the Dunhill Links Championship, French Open, Andalucia Masters or Genesis Championship after the LIV Golf season ends to maintain his membership.

"It's not a loophole because that's the rules we've always had and those are the rules we are going to continue to apply," Kinnings said.

"It requires a player to work within the rules, but the truth is that those rules have been looked [at] and tested. Everything is done in a fair, reasonable and proportionate way. So there is no reason why anything needs to change. It is wrong to think Jon Rahm has written himself out of the Ryder Cup. People instantly thought we would have to change the rules, but actually we don't. If Jon follows the procedures in place, there is no reason why he would not be eligible for the 2025 Ryder Cup."

Keeping an eye on Kim

Reigning Open Championship winner Brian Harman , talking to reporters Tuesday during a preview of the 152nd Open at Royal Troon Golf Course, said he has been as curious as anyone else in watching Anthony Kim 's return to pro golf after a nearly 12-year hiatus.

Harman and Kim were teammates on the U.S. team at the 2005 Walker Cup as amateurs.

"I'm always interested when someone kind of picks up the pieces and comes back," Harman said. "It's nice to see him playing golf again. He sure was tough to beat when he was playing good. Hope he finds a little bit of that form."

Kim, who is playing as a wild card in LIV Golf individual competitions this season, hasn't finished better than 50th in a 54-man field in four starts. The 38-year-old finished 54th last week at The Grange Golf Club in Adelaide, Australia.

"I heard that his personal life is going really well from all reports," Harman said. "I haven't talked to Anthony personally in probably 12 years or so, but yeah, I've been rooting for him from the sidelines. ... He's an easy guy to pull for."
