Just because it is a golf tournament does not mean it is all about golf.
The AT&T Bryon Nelson returns for the second year to their new home in Southern Dallas at the lovely Trinity Forest Golf Club. Over the last 51 years the PGA TOUR event, hosted by the Salesman Club of Dallas, has raised more than $160 million. These funds support the work of the nonprofit Momentous Institute, which serves more than 5,500 children and family members annually.

On-Course Patio Bars: The AT&T Byron Nelson is partnering with Katy Trail Ice House to offer spectators a brand-new pavilion experience. The Katy Trail Ice House Pavilion (all ages) will be located in the middle of the action at the corner of 4 green and 5 tee and remain complimentary with all tickets. The open-air, beer garden-style venue will include outdoor patio games, Katy Trail Ice House menu favorites, and areas to watch golf, emulating one of Dallas’ favorite hot spots with nearly 20 trees from Fannin Tree Farm shading the patio deck. Fans can also enjoy complimentary access to the Grey Goose 19th Hole (21 and over) located at 13 green, 14 tee.
Forest to Fairway 5K: This year they are hosting their inaugural Forest to Fairway 5K presented by Baylor Scott & White Emergency Hospitals on April 27 at Trinity Forest Golf Club. This 5K provides runners the unique experience of running through Dallas’ Great Trinity Forest (the largest urban forest in the U.S.), as well as the tournament’s home course, Trinity Forest Golf Course – combining the elements of a traditional 5K with the elements of an easy trail run. Full registration details here.

KidsZone presented by Momentous Institute: Families can take a break inside the air-conditioned family favorite, KidsZone, presented by Momentous Institute while enjoying free games and crafts. Activities will include putt-putt, and one of Momentous Institute’s favorite tools in teaching children their brain is important, and that they have control over their brain – the “Brain hat”. Momentous Institute School students will caddy for the pros Wednesday morning as well as marshal on Saturday from 1-3.
Bush Institute’s Warrior Open Presented by AT&T: The Bush Institute’s Warrior Open at the AT&T Byron Nelson will be held May 5-6, 2019. The Bush Institute’s Warrior Open began in 2011 for United States military personnel seriously wounded or injured since September 11, 2001.
