Charles Schwab Challenge Tips 2023 Colonial Country Club

Details:

This weekend, the PGA Tour will return to Texas for the Charles Schwab Challenge, where world-class players will compete at Colonial Country Club.

After defeating Scottie Scheffler in a playoff in 2022, Sam Burns is back to defend his title.

Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa, Justin Rose, Zach Johnson, Jimmy Walker, and Danny Willett are among the major winners who will tee off on Thursday.

Our four picks for this weekend's title are listed below.

Finau, Tony

With two wins this season, Tony Finau has been ultra-consistent on the PGA Tour.

At his first event, Finau missed the cut at the World Wide Technology Championship before winning the Cadence Bank Houston Open.

In addition to winning the Hero World Challenge, the 33-year-old finished T7 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, T16 at the American Express, T9 at the Farmers Insurance Open, T14 at the WM Phoenix Open, T20 at the Genesis Invitational, T24 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, T19 at the Players Championship and T17 at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.

Afterwards, he finished T26 at the Masters and T31 at the RBC Heritage before winning the Mexico Open and placing T23 at the Wells Fargo Championship and T72 at the PGA Championship.

In the last five years, the American has placed T29 in 2017, 2nd in 2019, T23 in 2020, T20 in 2021, and T4 in 2022 at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

It is possible that Finau will make the frame in Texas this weekend after going close to winning this event twice.

Hovland, Viktor

Last weekend, Viktor Hovland was in contention for the first Major of his career until he dropped vital shots at the 16th hole during the final round, resulting in him finishing joint second with Scottie Scheffler.

Hovland had been in excellent form on the PGA Tour prior to that, placing T5 at the ZOZO Championship, T21 at the CJ Cup, T10 at the World Wide Technology Championship, winning the Hero World Challenge, T18 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, T13 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and T42 at the WM Phoenix Open.

As a result, the Norwegian finished T20 at the Genesis Invitational, T10 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, T3 at the Players Championship, T31 at the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play, and T7 at the Masters before finishing T59 at the RBC Heritage and T43 at the Wells Fargo Championship.

In 2020 and 2022, the world's number six ranked golfer finished T23 and T21 at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Having finished disappointingly at last weekend's PGA Championship, Hovland will try to redeem himself at Colonial Country Club.

Rose, Justin

There has been a resurgence of form for Justin Rose on the PGA Tour this season, including a win.

After missing the cut at the World Wide Technology Championship, Rose finished T9 at the Cadence Bank Houston Open, T29 at the RSM Classic, T26 at the American Express, and T18 at the Farmers Insurance Open.

In his next start, the 42-year-old Englishman won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am before missing the cut at the Genesis and Arnold Palmer Invitationals.

After those two disappointing results, Rose placed T6 at the Players Championship, T36 at the Valspar Championship, T16 at the Masters, T25 at the RBC Heritage, and T9 at the PGA Championship.

In his last five starts at Colonial Country Club, the former world number one won in 2018, placed T58 in 2019, T3 in 2020, T20 in 2021, and MC in 2022.
