The AT&T Byron Nelson will move to Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas in 2018 - a year earlier than expected - after its 34th year at the TPC Four Seasons Resort. Officials for the tournament and the PGA Tour announced Wednesday that the event will move to the new course, which is located about 10 miles south of downtown Dallas and opened for play this month.

Trinity Forest Golf Club is an 18-hole, links-style course designed by former PGA Tour player Ben Crenshaw and golf course designer Bill Coore.
The 2017 AT&T Byron Nelson will be played at Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas, located in nearby Irving, on May 15-21.
"Our mission to transform kids' lives has been the heart of what we do since 1920 and that cause remains central to all our decisions about the AT&T Byron Nelson," David Watson, AT&T Byron Nelson board chairman, said in a statement. "We are forever grateful to Four Seasons and the City of Irving for a long, prosperous partnership that has enabled us to raise over $150 million for Momentous Institute, impacting over 100,000 lives. We look forward to our tournament's future and continuing to change the odds for kids."
AT&T, the tournament's title sponsor since 2015, is based in Dallas.
"This is a special sponsorship for us because it benefits Momentous Institute and thousands of children right here in our hometown of Dallas and beyond," said Lori Lee, AT&T senior executive vice president and global marketing officer.
