The PGA Tour returns to Texas this week as Colonial Country Club hosts the Charles Schwab Challenge, with newly-crowned three-time major champion Scottie Scheffler headlining the field after his dominant performance at Quail Hollow.
Scheffler enters the tournament as the overwhelming favorite following an impressive stretch of golf that saw him claim victory at the Byron Nelson by eight strokes before capturing last week's PGA Championship by a commanding five-shot margin. This remarkable run has solidified his position atop the World Golf Rankings and propelled him past Rory McIlroy (who is absent this week) in the FedEx Cup Standings.
The world number one's track record at Colonial offers further evidence for his favored status, with three consecutive top-three finishes at the venue since 2022 among his five career appearances. His current +225 odds reflect both his recent dominance and course history.
According to statistical analysis from Statbet, Scheffler's current form represents one of the most dominant stretches by any golfer in recent PGA Tour history.
Beyond Scheffler, the field features several notable names including Tommy Fleetwood, Hideki Matsuyama, and Jordan Spieth, though none are listed with odds better than +2000 – highlighting the significant gap between Scheffler and his competitors.
Defending champion Davis Riley will look to build on his impressive runner-up finish at last week's PGA Championship, entering with 40/1 odds. Meanwhile, 2020 winner Daniel Berger returns as a 20/1 contender at a venue where he's previously found success.
With Scheffler's recent form and history at Colonial, all eyes will be on whether anyone can challenge the world's top-ranked player as he seeks to continue his remarkable winning streak in the Lone Star State.
