A cool $1.782 million is up for grabs for the winner on Sunday as the PGA Tour heads to Fort Worth, Texas, for the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Hosting the event for the 80th time, Colonial Country Club is a course widely regarded as one of the most demanding courses on the Tour. This reputation is mainly due to the “Terrible Horseshoe,” the unforgiving Colonial stretch that runs across holes 3 through 5.
Ben Griffin returns as the defending champion after finishing last year’s final round with a 1-over 71 for a one-shot victory over Matthias Schmid.
The lead-up to the tournament has seen the field open up somewhat, thanks to some high-profile dropouts, with both Wyndham Clarke and Brooks Koepka withdrawing earlier this week. Koepka’s withdrawal also means he is now unable to qualify for next week’s signature event at the Memorial Tournament.
Ben Griffin won his first PGA Tour singles win at the Charles Schwab Challenge last year.

Live broadcast of the Charles Schwab Challenge 2026 in the United States
The main linear television coverage in the United States is broadcast on CBS, which will show the final stages of the tournament. This coverage will also be available to watch via the Paramount Plus streaming service.
Paramount Plus has two main subscription plans in the US: Essential for $9 per month and Premium Plus for $14 per month. Both provide coverage of the Charles Schwab Challenge.
The cheaper basic option has ads for on-demand streaming, but lacks live CBS feeds and the ability to download shows to watch later offline. Students may qualify for a 25% discount.
Live PGA Tour coverage is available all four days from Thursday through Sunday on ESPN Plus, which will offer recaps of the main events, highlights, highlights and featured hole coverage.
ESPN Plus can be accessed via the network’s ESPN Select or ESPN Unlimited Flow packages. ESPN Select carries ESPN Plus and is the cheapest option at $13 per month
ESPN’s streaming platforms have been shaken up in recent months. The sports network now offers two tiers with its new direct-to-consumer setup: ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited. ESPN Select is essentially what ESPN Plus was, with the same content available to subscribers, including PGA Golf, for $13 per month. If you want full access to ESPN’s networks and services, such as ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNNews, and ESPN Deportes, plus all ESPN Select content, ESPN Unlimited is the perfect solution. It costs $30 per month.
Golf Channel’s coverage of the early stages of the tournament can be streamed on Peacock.
Peacock currently costs $11 per month for the ad-supported Peacock Premium plan and $17 per month for the ad-free Peacock Premium Plus plan.
Four of the major live TV services also offer The Golf Channel.
Hulu with Live TV starts at $90 per month for an ad-supported package that includes the Golf Channel. Click on the “View channels in your area” link on it Welcome page To find out what local channels are available in your zip code.
