With near-record high temperatures on tap Friday, heat was expected to be an issue during the second, third and final rounds of the AT&T Byron Nelson Classic.
NBC 5 meteorologists forecast a high of 96, which would have matched the record high set in 1956.
As of 2 p.m., when temperatures were climbing close to the day's high of 95, Dallas Fire-Rescue said they had attended to about 50 people for heat-related issues at the tournament.
"Most of these individuals have been very proactive about treating their symptoms and only needing a place to cool off," DFR said. "Treatment for these patients have mostly been ice packs, water, being placed by fans or in an air-conditioned tent; with the occasional administration of IV fluids.
DFR said only one person required a trip to the hospital.
