The 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge purse is set for $8.4 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,512,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.
The Charles Schwab Challenge field is headed by Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and more of the world's best players.
The 120-player field is the event after the PGA Championship, which was played last week in neighboring Oklahoma.
A cut is made after 36 holes to the top 65 players and ties for the final two rounds of the tournament. All players who finish four rounds of the tournament will earn money.
The event is played this year at Colonial Country Club in Ft. Worth, Texas.
This is the 32nd PGA Tour-sanctioned event of the 2021-2022 PGA Tour schedule.
