The PGA TOUR returns to Colonial Country Club this week for the Charles Schwab Challenge – the longest-running TOUR event among non-majors held annually at the same site. This is the 78th edition, but it’s the first time it’s being presented after its huge restoration over the past year. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will be in the field this week. Scheffler recorded his 10th top-10 finish in 11 events so far in 2024 at the PGA Championship. The Texas native has also had great success here, claiming T3 and T2 in the last two years. Collin Morikawa returns fresh off a T4 at the PGA Championship. Since a T3 at the Masters six weeks ago, he’s reemerged as a persistent force with three top-10s and another two top-25s. He’s also never missed the cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge, with his highest-ever finish coming in 2020 when he finished runner-up. Texas native Jordan Spieth will also tee it up in his home state this week. He’s seen success here in previous years with a win in 2016, two second place finishes and another four top-10s. Others to look out for are Tony Finau, Max Homa, Justin Rose and Tom Kim.
