2026 Charles Schwab Challenge Full Field: Seven of World Top 20 Heading to Colonial

The PGA Tour's annual trip to Colonial turns 80 this year.

No other host venue for a non-major has logged more years than Hogan's Alley, where Ben Hogan won the first two Colonial National Invitations in 1946 and 1947 and five overall.

This is the second stop of the Tour's Texas two-step in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, the first being the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. It's also in a bit of a soft spot on the schedule, with Jack Nicklaus's Memorial Tournament (a signature event) coming next week with the U.S. Open two weeks after that.

The field reflects that, with seven of the world's top 20 entered to compete: No. 9 J.J. Spaun, No. 11 Russell Henley, No. 13 Ludvig Åberg, No. 14 Robert MacIntyre, No. 16 Justin Thomas, No. 17 Ben Griffin and No. 19 Hideki Matsuyama. Griffin is the returning champion, having defeated Matti Schmid by a shot a year ago.

Other past champs in the field include Davis Riley, Emiliano Grillo, Kevin Kisner and Chris Kirk.

They'll all take on Colonial Country Club, a notoriously tight 7,289-yard par-70 that rewards working the ball both left and right more than brute strength. Little wonder why Ben Hogan liked the place so much.
