Founded in 1920, Salesmanship Club of Dallas unites its 600+ members to strengthen the mental health of children, families, and communities through its beneficiary, Momentous Institute. Through Momentous Institute, Salesmanship Club of Dallas is on track to strengthen the lives of 1,000,000 children and families by 2031.

Uniquely, Salesmanship Club of Dallas is also the host organization of an official stop on the PGA TOUR, THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. The rich history of the Byron Nelson golf tournament dates back to 1926, when it was initially known as the Dallas Open. After a hiatus, the event returned in 1944 as the Texas Victory Open, a notable year where Byron Nelson secured victory by an impressive 10 strokes. Over the years, the tournament underwent various name changes before officially becoming the Byron Nelson Classic in 1968, coinciding with its designation as an official stop on the PGA TOUR.

Distinguished as one of two PGA TOUR events named after a professional golfer, the tournament has held a unique status throughout its history. In 2023, CJ Group came on as the official title sponsor, committing to a decade-long partnership with THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Held annually in May at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, the tournament consistently attracts top-tier players from around the world.

THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson is truly so much More Than a Game. Since its inception, the Byron Nelson golf tournament has supported Momentous Institute. To date, the tournament has raised an impressive $200 million for Momentous Institute, underscoring its profound impact on both the world of golf and the community it serves.
