One would think that the PGA Championship winner would take a week off after yet another major victory, but that’s why Scottie Scheffler’s Scottie Scheffler and the rest of us very much are not. The World No. 1 and now three-time major champ will have a chance to win his third-straight event this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial. It’ll also be an opportunity for revenge after a runner-up finish to Davis Riley just one year ago.
If he pulled it off, this would be Scheffler’s second Texas victory this year, along with his CJ Cup Byron Nelson runaway earlier this month. But first he’ll have to get by defending champ Riley and top-20 talents like Hideki Matsuyama, Maverick McNealy, Tommy Fleetwood and Harris English. Jordan Spieth will be in the field, as well, after winning this tournament back in 2016 (when it was the Dean & DeLuca Invitational). He also has three runner-ups at famed Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth.

Riley won back in 2024 by five shots for his first individual title on tour. He finished at 14 under, which was more than enough to hold off Scheffler and Keegan Bradley. Riley and Collin Morikawa were the only pros in the field to finish every round at Colonial under par.
This week’s winner will receive 500 FedEx Cup points and a $1.71 million cut of the $9.5 million purse.

We give credit to Texas golf historian Frances G. Trimble for establishing the fact that Perry Maxwell, not John Bredemus, originally designed Colonial Country Club for Fort Worth businessman Marvin Leonard. Both architects submitted routings. Maxwell’s was used, while Bredemus supervised construction. Colonial sported the first bentgrass greens in Texas when it opened in 1936. In 1939, the USGA awarded Colonial its 1941 U.S. Open, the first ever in Texas, so Leonard brought Maxwell back to toughen the course. He added 56 bunkers and created the present par-3 fourth and par-4 fifth (two of the famed Horrible Horseshoe trio of holes) and a par-3 13th (since replaced following a 1968 rechanneling of the Trinity River). Keith Foster’s 2008 restoration wasn’t to everyone’s satisfaction. In 2023, Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner initiated a warp-speed, total renovation of the design using Maxwell’s 1941 modifications as a roadmap, a similar treatment they implemented when remodelinig Maxwell’s Southern Hills in 2018, on display at the 2022 PGA Championship. This ranking does not reflect the Hanse/Wagner work: Their changes will be revealed in the 2027-’28 results. View Course Tee Times (all times EDT) FIRST ROUND/THURSDAY
