Charles Schwab Challenge 2025

The Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 returns to Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, from May 19–25, 2025. As the longest-running PGA TOUR event held at its original course, this tournament is famous for its rich tradition and world-class competition.

Expect elite PGA TOUR pros, a challenging course with narrow fairways, and the famous Hogan’s Alley – a stretch of holes that separates the best from the rest. And let’s not forget the signature tartan plaid jacket and the one-of-a-kind champion’s prize, which in past years has included fully restored classic cars.

History of the Charles Schwab Challenge

This tournament started in 1946 as the Colonial National Invitation, quickly becoming one of the most respected stops on the PGA TOUR. Ben Hogan, a Fort Worth native, made the course his own, winning here five times, which is why the tournament honors his legacy with a statue and the Hogan Trophy Room.

In 2019, Charles Schwab took over as the title sponsor, adding modern touches while preserving the event’s classic appeal. In previous years, winners have been awarded vintage cars, which makes this event stand out in the golf world.

Beyond the competition, the Charles Schwab Challenge is about giving back. Through initiatives like Birdies for Charity, the tournament has raised over $17 million for local causes, proving that golf at Colonial is about more than just the leaderboard. Join our cause and be part of something bigger than the game.
