We are taking the trip to Fort Worth, Texas, as the Colonial Country Club will be granting us another installment of “The Colonial National Invitation,” titled for sponsorship reasons as the Charles Schwab Challenge since 2019.
It is one of five invitational tournaments on the PGA Tour, and it has been a long run for it, as the inaugural event was held 78 years ago in 1946.
The Charles Schwab Corporation, whose corporate headquarters relocated to the nearby suburb of Westlake in 2021, became the title sponsor of the event for a four-year deal starting in 2019.
Invitational tournaments have smaller fields and have more freedom than full-field open tournaments in determining which players are eligible to participate in their event, as invitational tournaments have slightly different criteria for player eligibility in the PGA Tour Priority Ranking System. Furthermore, unlike full-field open tournaments, invitational tournaments do not offer open qualifying.
Event Overview – 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge – PGA Tour
The PGA Tour returns to Colonial Country Club for the Charles Schwab Challenge – the longest-running host venue among non-majors on the PGA Tour schedule.
But for this year, the best in the world are set to take on a restored and renovated Colonial. The effort began the day after last year’s Charles Schwab Challenge, and the crew has been sprinting to the finish as they await the Tour’s best to tee it up this week.
The field is chock-full of notable names ready to take on Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner’s newest effort – a nod to the original Perry Maxwell design with plenty of modern touches.
Led by the Texas two-step of Scottie Scheffler and past winner Jordan Spieth, it’s set to be another great week in the Lone Star State.
–
Scheffler leads the way at Colonial. He recorded his 10th top-10 finish in 11 events so far in 2024 at the PGA Championship – a week unlike any other for him. His last two results at the Charles Schwab Challenge have been T3-T2.
Collin Morikawa, fresh off a T4 at the PGA Championship, returns to Colonial. Morikawa has never missed the cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge, with his highest-ever finish coming in 2020 when he finished runner-up.
Emiliano Grillo returns to defend, looking to become the first back-to-back winner at Colonial since Ben Hogan in the 1950s.
Spieth is hoping for a nice bounce-back at the Charles Schwab Challenge after missing the cut a year ago. Before that, Spieth finished in the top 10 in seven out of eight years. He has three runner-ups at Colonial and a win in 2016.
A pair of past FedExCup champions, Billy Horschel and Justin Rose, are looking to capitalize on their momentum from the PGA Championship. Horschel finished T8 at Valhalla Golf Club – his first major championship top-10 result since 2013 – and Rose finished T6. Rose won at Colonial in 2018.
Tom Kim, who now lives in Dallas, will make his debut at Colonial. Kim has made his last five cuts in a row, including a T26 at the PGA Championship, and finally, Max Homareturns to Colonial after a T9 a year ago – his best result in five tries.
