Scheffler Miss, Åberg, Thomas headlines at the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge field in Fort Worth, Texas.
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 80th 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.
The final PGA Tour tournament of the month tees off at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, next week where defending champion Ben Griffin looks to overcome a field headlined by Ludvig Aberg and Justin Thomas.
Most of the world’s top-ranked players are taking another breather following the PGA Tournament in Aronimink and in the lead up to the seventh signature event of the season — Jack Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler also opted to skip Colonial this year. He’s never won the event but has finished second twice and has four top 5s in six appearances. J.J. Spaun at No. 9 in the world is the highest-ranked player in the field along with Russell Henley No. 11 and Ludvig Aberg at No. 13. Fan favorites Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas also will be seeking to win the tournament's famed tartan jacket.
Sponsor exemptions were given to several veterans, including Charley Hoffman, past champion Kevin Kisner, Matt Kuchar, Webb Simpson and Camilo Villegas.
The purse for the Charles Schwab Challenge is $9.9 million and the winner will receive 500 FedEx Cup points. Ben Griffin is the defending champion.
