Texas-Bound: Scottie Scheffler Targets Third Straight Win at Charles Schwab Challenge
After clinching his first career major at the PGA Championship, Scottie Scheffler is set to compete at the Charles Schwab Challenge, starting May 22nd at the renowned Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.
Top contenders have opted to bypass this event, following the conclusion of the second major championship at Quail Hollow Golf Club. However, Scheffler, fresh off his career-defining victory, aims to capitalize on this opportunity to win his third consecutive tournament.
In 2022, Scheffler lost the Charles Schwab Challenge in a playoff to Sam Burns, who made a decisive 38-foot birdie putt. Despite his history with the trophy, Scheffler remains undaunted, promising a resilient performance to climb the leaderboard.
Defending champion Davis Riley, who defeated Scheffler in a playoff at Colonial last year, is also geared up for the challenge. Riley comes off an impressive second-place finish at the PGA Championship and has strong recent form at Colonial, ranking first in strokes gained: approach and second in total strokes gained in the last ten rounds there.
Charles Schwab Challenge Odds (as of May 18th at DraftKings):
- Scottie Scheffler: +250
- Jordan Spieth: +500
- Hideki Matsuyama: +800

- Daniel Berger: +1100
Maverick McNealy, currently ranked eleventh in the world and coming off his first PGA Tour triumph at the RSM Classic, is a promising dark horse, priced at +3000. McNealy has a solid record at Colonial, boasting five cuts in six starts and a pair of top-20s.
Notable picks for the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge include:
- Aaron Rai (4500): A consistent performer with seven top-25s this season, Rai is a strong contender, making the cut in his last nine events, including a top-20 at the PGA Championship.
- Davis Riley (5500): Defending champion Riley is poised for another solid run at Colonial, having secured his best-ever finish at a major championship (2nd at the PGA).
- Lucas Glover (6500): Though his performance at the PGA Championship may have been underwhelming, Glover has three top-10s this season and has maintained solid form at Colonial in recent years, with a T-8 finish in 2021.
