This Week In Golf: Our weekly look at the biggest stories in professional golf, tournament previews and other key details you need to know.
We’re somehow now almost in June and well into peak golf season, so what’s going on this week in the world of pro golf?
We had Wyndham Clark storm to victory on Sunday courtesy of an 11-under-par 60 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson after Richard Sterne won his first title in 13 years at the Soudal Open, and this coming week is far busier.
The PGA Tour returns to the iconic Colonial Country Club as the DP World Tour heads to Austria, with the LPGA Tour and LIV Golf also returning.
So, let’s take a look at what’s on the way this week and what other stories you may have missed:

The PGA Tour heads an hour west to Colonial Country Club for the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Colonial hosts the tournament for the 80th year, and there is a $9.9m prize pool with $1.782m going to the winner.
Wyndham Clark has withdrawn following his CJ Cup Byron Nelson win, while Brooks Koepka, David Ford and Denny McCarthy have pulled out as well. Jordan Spieth is another notable missing, with the three-time Major winner not playing in the event for the first time since 2013.
Also up for grabs, as is tradition at this event, is a classic car. This time around an ‘82 Schwab Scrambler 4×4 will go to the winner.
