The PGA Tour returns to Colonial Country Club with a solid purse for a non-signature event.
One week after the year's second major, the PGA Tour rolled on to Colonial Country Club for the Charles Schwab Challenge.
The tournament boasted 10 of the world's top 30 players including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, back after his surreal week at the PGA Championship. He shot a 2-over-par 72 in the first round, just, but rebounded with a Friday 65 to make it to the weekend and continue a made-cut streak that dates to August 2022.
The winner this week receives a custom 1975 Schwab Corvette Stingray, a tartan jacket and a place on the famed Wall of Champions near the first tee at Colonial, in addition to the usual tournament-winner spoils plus an invitation to the Memorial Tournament in two weeks, the next signature event on the schedule.
Oh, the winner also receives $1,638,000 from a purse of $9.1 million. Here's a breakdown of the rest of the earnings.John Schwarb is the Senior Editor of SI Golf. He has covered golf for the St. Petersburg Times , PGATour.com and Visit Florida; and has also written for ESPN.com, The Golfers Journal and several magazines. He lives in Indianapolis and graduated from Indiana University.
