PGA Tour Brunch | Charles Schwab Challenge | Colonial GC
FT. WORTH - The PGA TOUR makes its fourth of five stops in the Lone Star State during the 2026 season, with the final stop being the Good Good Championship scheduled in Austin, Texas from November 12-15 as part of the FedEx Cup Fall tour.
The Charles Schwab Challenge returns to Colonial Country Club for the 80th time since 1946, the longest-running host venue for a non-major on TOUR. In addition to the Tartan Jacket and a spot on the Wall of Champions near the first tee, the champion of the Charles Schwab Challenge drives away in a one-of-a-kind prize car, a tournament tradition that began with Charles Schwab’s title sponsorship in 2019.
This year’s prize car is a 1982 Jeep Scrambler.
The 2026 field headlined by seven of the top 20 players in the Official World Golf Ranking: No. 9 J.J. Spaun, No. 12 Russell Henley, No. 13 Ludvig Åberg, No. 15 Robert MacIntyre, No. 16 Justin Thomas, No. 17 Ben Griffin, No. 20 Hideki Matsuyama.
Ben Griffin will attempt to join Ben Hogan (1946-47, 1952-53) as the only back-to-back winners of the Charles Schwab Challenge. Griffin will make his fourth start in the Charles Schwab Challenge (T52/2023, MC/2024, Won/2025).

On This Day in Golf History
May 27, 1982 - Jack Nicklaus won his 72nd and second to last PGA Tour event at his home tournament and the one he created - The Memorial. Nicklaus defeated Andy Bean on the third hole sudden death playoff as Nicklaus carded a par for the hole while Bean missed a four-foot putt for par at Muirfield Village, Ohio. - Courtesy of Randy Walker, Author of On This Day in Golf History, available via Amazon.com and by clicking HERE
