CJ Cup Byron Nelson tournament proceeds fuel mental health campaign across Dallas
Each spring, the CJ Cup Byron Nelson brings some of the biggest names in golf, and millions of dollars in proceeds, to North Texas.
But that money doesn’t stay on the course. It’s quietly helping fund a Dallas nonprofit.
For more than 50 years, the Momentous Institute has been the tournament’s beneficiary.
The nonprofit provides mental health care, education, and family resources to support children and communities across Dallas.
“Over the years, the tournament has raised more than $185 million for the Momentous Institute, which directly supports the services we provide to the community,” said Dr. Jessica Gomez with the organization. “We’re really focused on helping the whole child and the whole family system heal from whatever mental health challenges they’re going through.”
This year, those efforts are taking shape in a new citywide campaign tied to Mental Health Awareness Month. Called “Squeeze the Day,” the campaign is meant to encourage North Texans to tap into the power of nature to support their well-being.
Billboards and installations have popped up across the city, from the Dallas Zoo to Klyde Warren Park to the Dallas Arboretum, urging people to pause, get outside, and find simple ways to care for their mental health.
“Having these reminders throughout the zoo that encourage people to take a moment and take in their surroundings, it’s really important,” said Kari Streiber with the Dallas Zoo. “You have to save those natural places and appreciating them is the first step.”
For the Momentous Institute, it’s all part of the mission of reaching people where they are and showing them that caring for their mental health can start with something as small as taking a deep breath outdoors.
So, next time you’re enjoying a walk or a visit to one of Dallas’ green spaces, don’t be surprised if you see a reminder to Squeeze the Day, and know that the CJ Cup Byron Nelson helped make it happen.
Petar Musa scored his 10th goal of the season, Samuel Sarver scored his first career goal in MLS, and FC Dallas beat the New York Red Bulls 2-0 on Saturday night to snap a four-game winless streak.
Dallas (4-3-4) had lost back-to-back games.
Musa gave Dallas a 1-0 lead in the 54th minute. Ran Binyamin, on the counter-attack, played an entry pass from near the top of the penalty arc to a charging Musa for a sliding first-touch finish from the right corner of the 6-yard box. The 28-year-old Musa went into the game tied with Nashville’s Sam Surridge for most goals in MLS this season.
The Red Bulls (3-5-3) are winless in five straight.
Sarver, the 2025 MLS Next Pro MVP, headed a cross from Logan Farrington into a wide-open net to make it 2-0 in the 88th minute.
Ethan Horvath had four saves for New York.
The Red Bulls had 61% possession, but were outshot 12-7, 6-0 on target.
FC Dallas snapped a four-game winless streak on Saturday when they downed the New York Red Bulls 2-0.

Club Notes
First assist for Ran: U22 Initiative midfielder Ran Binyamin recorded his first assist for FC Dallas in his second start. Binyamin, who joined the club in the 2026 offseason, has made eight appearances this season.
Sarver gets a goal: Sam Sarver scored his first MLS goal after entering in the 80th minute. He headed home in the 88th minute off an assist from Logan Farrington. The reigning MLS NEXT Pro MVP has appeared in six matches for Dallas this season.
Debut for Swann: Homegrown midfielder Caleb Swann made his MLS debut in the 94th minute. Swann previously featured for North Texas SC before signing his Homegrown contract on Jan. 5, 2026. He’s the third Dallas Homegrown to appear for FCD this season.

FC Dallas is on the road again tonight as they are in the Big Apple to take on the New York Red Bulls.
Lineups are in from both sides. Let’s dive into what Eric Quill’s starting group looks like, who is on the bench, and who we believe will see minutes later on in this one.
What Changed From Last Match
After a heavy rotation last weekend, Quill has made several changes. Petar Musa returns to the lineup following being out last weekend with a minor knock. Logan Farrington is also on the bench.
Osaze Urhoghide, Herman Johansson, Kaick and Joaquín Valiente rotate back into the lineup.
Ramiro is an interesting one at the left wing, which could be an interesting experiment for the veteran midfielder. I wonder if we’re really going to see Ran Binyamin more on the wings, instead.

Who should come off the bench?
Given who all is healthy and available, it seems like we’ll see some rotating in the second half with Cappis, Delgado, and Farrington as good options. Outside of those three, Simmonds and Ibeagha could be additional options late in the game.
Key Question Heading Into Kickoff
Can FC Dallas find a rare positive result at Sports Illustrated Stadium?
If this group is going to turn the corner here on their issues this spring, this is the game to do it. New York has been giving up loads of goals this season, and if the preseason meeting can be considered a preview, Dallas should have no problem figuring out how to put a few on this team.
