Charles Schwab Challenge Returns Colonial with Scheffler Leading Field

The 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club, known as 'Hogan's Alley' after Ben Hogan's five wins, is highlighted by World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who is the strong favorite following back-to-back dominant wins, including the recent PGA Championship. Scheffler has a history of strong performances at Colonial with three consecutive top-three finishes and is favored at around +225 to +250. Defending champion Davis Riley, who won last year and finished tied second at the recent PGA Championship, is also a contender with longer odds. The tournament features a unique invitational field, including past champions and club pro Michael Block, and is played on a tight, 7,289-yard par-70 course that rewards precision over power. The event, held annually in May as part of the PGA Tour's Texas swing, attracts a mix of top players and local favorites, with its rich history dating back to 1946. Other notable players in the field include Hideki Matsuyama, Tommy Fleetwood, and Daniel Berger, though no one else is favored close to Scheffler's odds.
