Despite its spot on the schedule, the Charles Schwab Challenge is boasting a solid field just a few days after the conclusion of the 104th PGA Championship.
Justin Thomas, who took home the Wanamaker last Sunday, is teeing it up at Colonial Country Club and is the betting favorite at +1000.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler had a disappointing showing at Southern Hills, his favorite golf course in the world, and is looking to bounce back after the missed cut.
Other big names in the field include Jordan Spieth, Viktor Hovland, Collin Morikawa, Will Zalatoris, and Max Homa. Jason Kokrak is back as the defending champion.
