Golfers are just as eager as the fans for golf to return to play, and the wait is finally over.
148 of the world’s top golfers are set to tee off in the Charles Schwab Challenge at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Colonial has never had the top-two golfers in the Official World Golf Rankings compete in the same event since the rankings started in 1986. This weekend, each of the top-five players in the OWGR will be competing.
World number one Rory Mcllroy has never competed at Colonial, but the return of the PGA Tour has the top players flocking to the competition.
The Match 2 featuring Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady gave the audience a glimpse into the return of golf. This weekend, there similarly won’t be any fans at the course. The Match 2 aimed to hold golf fans over, but it may have just made them want the return even more. That wait is over.
Here is a guide to watching the Charles Schwab Challenge in 2020, including a list of tee times (updated daily), the complete TV schedule and more.

Who is in the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge field?
The Charles Schwab Challenge doesn’t normally garner this kind of attention, but when it’s the first PGA Tour tournament after a three-month break, it’s no surprise the field is loaded.
Tiger Woods will not participate and will likely continue to rest for a few more weeks. Adam Scott, Patrick Cantlay and Tommy Fleetwood are among the other notable top players who won’t participate, but the excitement for this event is much more focused on who will be participating.
16 of the top 20 players in the World Rankings will be competing in the Charles Schwab Challenge, including the top-five ranked golfers. The expanded 148 player field (from 120) showcases the desire for players to return to the course.
