After a break of one week, the PGA Tour will resume play this week with the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge. The Colonial Country Club at Forth Worth, Texas, will continue to host this event as it is the longest-hosting venue for an event on the PGA Tour.
The competition is scheduled to start on May 23 and run through May 26. Despite the fact that the competition begins immediately following the 2024 PGA Championship, a number of elite golfers are competing. The upcoming Charles Schwab Challenge field will see the likes of World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, and Adam Scott take part in it.
These players will compete to receive the maximum share of the $9.1 million prize money purse, along with the Colonial's Leonard Trophy and Scottish Royal Tartan Plaid Jacket. Additionally, this year's champion will also receive a 1975 Schwab Stingray vehicle.
Apart from this, the winner will also receive 500 FedEx Cup points, an exemption to the upcoming Major Championships, and a PGA Tour card for the next two seasons. Thus, there are many benefits to winning this week, and spectators can expect an exciting tournament.
The 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge champion will receive a paycheck of $1.6 million from a total of $9.1 million. Here's the complete breakdown of the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge prize money purse:
