The PGA Tour is back in session this week, completing its Texas two-step around the Dallas Metroplex with the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Colonial Country Club is the host for a 79th year, the longest-running host for regular Tour event, but the tournament’s spot on the schedule immediately after the PGA Championship and a signature event prior to that leads to a bit of a motley field.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the clear headliner, coming right off his PGA Championship title and playing a home game just as he did three weeks ago in a romp at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, but after him are just three more players in the world top 20: Hideki Matsuyama, Tommy Fleetwood and Maverick McNealy.

The Charles Schwab Challenge is unique as an invitational which allows its champions of yesteryear to come back, hence Olin Browne, David Frost, Corey Pavin—all 65 years old—are on the field list.

Also invited, by the sponsor, is club pro Michael Block, who made a name for himself at the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill but had a brief, unimpressive trip to Quail Hollow last week. He suggested he might have played better if more fans had watched, a take that will live on social media forever.  

Colonial is a course where short hitters can thrive, as the 7,289-yard par-70 is notoriously tight and rewards placement over power. Last year, Davis Riley donned the winner’s tartan jacket as the only player at double-digits under par, and Emiliano Grillo and Sam Burns won prior to him with single-digit scores.

And don’t rule out Scheffler, even after Quail Hollow. He has finished inside the top three at Colonial the last three years and a year ago he won immediately after winning a major, pulling off the rare Masters-RBC Heritage double.
