2026 Charles Schwab Challenge PGA Tour Betting Odds

The PGA Tour stays in the greater Dallas area for the second week in a row as the pros head to historic Colonial in Fort Worth for the Charles Schwab Challenge. It’s not the strongest field of the year with Ludvig Aberg favoured on the golf odds.

Here’s one thing we can all but promise this week: It won’t take 30 under par to win as it did Sunday at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. American Wyndham Clark shot a final-round 60 to finish at 30-under 254 as the weather conditions were very tame all week. Clark is in this week’s field as of now and priced +2700.

It’s the 80th playing of this event at Colonial Country Club, which is a par 70 at 7,289 yards. It’s the longest running host venue for a non-major on Tour, and the winner gets a tartan jacket. Colonial is short by modern standards with just the two par 5s. Driving accuracy tends to be more important than distance.

The winning score in 2025 was 12-under 268 by American Ben Griffin. There were wind gusts of around 30 mph at “Hogan’s Alley” last year on Sunday, so Griffin’s 1-under 71 was enough to finish a stroke upon Germany’s Matti Schmid.

It was Griffin’s second PGA Tour win but first as an individual, and he added another title last November at the World Wide Technology Championship. While several players have won this event at least twice, only Ben Hogan has repeated. I recommended an American winner overall in 2025, and the individual choice was Lucas Glover, who was T22.

Brooks Koepka was originally in this year’s field off a T14 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson on Sunday but opted to withdraw Monday. Under the Returning Members Program from LIV, if Koepka had stayed in the tournament, the field would have expanded from 132 players to 135. Texas native Jordan Spieth, the 2016 champion and multiple-time runner-up, is skipping for the first time in his pro career.

This week marks the last chance for players to get high enough in the FedExCup standings to qualify for next week’s Memorial Tournament, a Signature Event (Koepka is now guaranteed to miss that). While none of the world’s Top 8 are playing this week, seven of the Top 20 are. J.J. Spaun at No. 9 in the world is the highest-ranked player in the field. Kevin Kisner, the 2017 winner, was among those to get sponsor exemptions.

Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg, a two-time PGA Tour winner but not yet in 2026, is the +800 favourite as he plays the tournament for the first time. He comes off a T4 at the PGA Championship two weeks ago, his sixth Top 10 this year and third in a row.

Russell Henley (+2000) hasn’t played the event since a T16 in 2023. He has three Top 10s this year but hasn’t been better than T25 in his past three. Robert MacIntyre (+2050) missed the cut in 2024 in his first visit here but was T6 last year. The Scotsman is struggling, though, no better than T42 in his past four events this year.

Rickie Fowler (+2400) is having a bit of a bounce-back year with three Top 10s in his past four. He was T6 here in 2023. Ben Griffin is +2500 to repeat. He has just two Top 10s in 2026 and off a T14 at the PGA Championship.

No Canadian player has won this tournament. Adam Svensson was the top finisher last year at T46, while Ben Silverman was T70 and Mackenzie Hughes missed the cut. Sudarshan Yellamaraju is +6400 this week with Hughes +11000, AJ Ewart +19500 and Svensson +26000.

Like an American winner and in particular Tony Finau at +6700. Not really sure what has happened to the six-time PGA Tour champion as he hasn’t won since 2023 and has just one Top 10 this year. But that was Sunday at the Byron Nelson, and Finau has a runner-up and T4 in this event.
