After the PGA Championship, it’s back down to earth with the PGA Tour’s Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club.
While many of the best players the Tour has to offer teed it up at the Valhalla Major, the field isn’t nearly as strong this week, although there are still some notable names, including World No.1 Scottie Scheffler and defending champion Emiliano Grillo.
Last year, Grillo won his first PGA Tour title in eight years at the event, despite point seeing his ball roll back 150 yards after landing in an aqueduct on the 72nd hole, Eventually, he got the job done in a playoff against Adam Schenk to claim a first prize of $1.566m from an overall payout of $8.7m.
This year, there’s even more at stake with an increased prize fund of $9.1m – the same figure that was available at the Texas Houston Children’s Open in March. This week’s winner will earn $1.638m, while the runner-up will bank $991,900.
Away from that considerable financial incentive, 500 FedEx Cup points are also up for grabs for the winner, as well as world ranking points, which could prove crucial as players currently beneath the world’s top 60 look to force their way into the field for next month’s US Open.
Below is the prize money payout for the Charles Schwab Challenge.
