The CJ Cup Byron Nelson golf tournament is returning to TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney for the sixth year in a row.

What’s happening: The tournament is expected to stick around at least another five years after stakeholders agreed to an extension in late 2025. The agreement also includes an option to further extend the tournament’s stay in McKinney through 2033.

The context: The Byron Nelson golf tournament has been played at the TPC Craig Ranch course in McKinney each year since 2021. Two economic impact studies completed in 2022 and 2023 have shown the tournament draws thousands of people to McKinney and the North Texas region while generating an economic impact measured in millions.

Quote of note: “We feel it’s now our forever home after having those first five years there,” Tournament Director Jon Drago said. “We’ve had a lot of great success.”

Measuring the impact: The tournament has helped “elevate McKinney’s brand” as a major sports destination, Visit McKinney Executive Director Aaron Werner said.

ATI Physical Therapy opened an additional McKinney location this spring, a company representative said.

Fort Worth-based American Airlines celebrated its 100th anniversary on April 15.

The first flight for the company was on a DH-4 biplane with a bag of mail, headed from Chicago to St. Louis, according to the airline’s website. Charles A. Lindbergh, the chief pilot of Robertson Aircraft Corporation, was the pilot of that trip. Robertson was one of the airlines that ultimately became American Airlines.

The background: What started as American Airways, the first operation building and hangar was at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport, which was once the headquarters of American Airlines at 201 Aviation Way, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. According to the airline’s historical timeline, the company changed its name to American Airlines, Inc., in 1934.

According to its website, American Airlines operated the first plane to land at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in 1974. The headquarters moved from New York City to Fort Worth in 1979 and American established its first hub at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in 1981.

Camp Mystic, the Texas Hill Country camp where 28 people died in catastrophic flooding last July, announced April 30 that it will not welcome campers this summer.

The background: The decision comes nearly 10 months after 25 young campers, two teenage counselors and the camp’s executive director, Dick Eastland, died as the Guadalupe River camp flooded July 4. Camp Mystic’s owners had planned to open a secondary campsite called Cypress Lake in late May, but backed down at the urging of flood victims’ families and state lawmakers.

What's happening: A spokesperson for the Department of State Health Services, which licenses youth camps, confirmed to Community Impact that Camp Mystic had withdrawn its application to operate in summer 2026. 

In a statement, Camp Mystic officials said they did not want to “unintentionally effect further harm” on flood victims and their families.

"We also recognize that over 800 girls want to return to Camp Mystic Cypress Lake this summer," they wrote. "Our special bond with our Camp Mystic families does not change or end with the announcement."
