The 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge continues the PGA Tour season with the event at Colonial Country Club in Ft. Worth, Texas, welcoming 132 world-class players to the PGA Tour event.

The 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge betting odds indicate this week's favorite is Ludvig Aberg, who comes in at +1075 betting odds.

Russell Henley is 20-to-1 as he looks to continue a years-long run of strong performance, though he's been a little down lately.

Robert MacIntyre is 22-to-1, as the Scot looks to right the ship after a bit of a tough run.

2026 Charles Schwab Challenge betting picks

The Charles Schwab Challenge is the 22nd event of the season, and the PGA Tour remains in Texas for the Ben Hogan tribute event.

If you're not looking at guys who are good ballstrikers, then I think you're missing the point this week. Yes, Sam Burns won here with his incredible short game, but it starts with keeping the ball in play.

Gary Woodland is one of the few horse-for-course plays this week, and I'll probably pair that with a top-10 bet.

Brian Harman is kind of interesting to me this week because it should fit his game pretty well. He's cashing lots of checks, just nothing spectacular.

Sudarshan Yellamaraju is a guy that we might be sleeping on right now, considering that he just MC'd for the first time in 11 tournaments.
