PGA Charles Schwab Challenge 2026 Golf Odds And Picks

The PGA pros return to “Hogan’s Alley” and Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, TX for the Charles Schwab Challenge 2026 event. The 80th edition includes 7 of the top 20 players in the world rankings among the 132 player invitational field.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is taking the week off after finishing T4, T2, T3 and T2 the last four years of the event. Scheffler finished 3rd in last week’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson, which was won by Wyndham Clark with Si Woo Kim runner-up. Those two are also off this week with Si Woo Kim climbing to No. 19 in the world rankings and Clark up from No. 75 to 44. All three will be back next week for the Jack Nicklaus Signature Event Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, and Scheffler is the defending champion at The Memorial Tournament.

Ludvig Aberg is the favorite this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge with other contenders at 26/1 or less including Russell Henley, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, J.J. Spaun and last year’s Charles Schwab Champion Ben Griffin (-12). The 7,289 yard Par 70 Colonial Country Club was renovated in 2024.
