A little birdie told us that the Charles Schwab Challenge (CSC) tees off at Colonial Country Club (3735 Country Club Cir.) next week for the 76th anniversary of the PGA tournament. From Mon., May 23-Sun., May 29, 120 golfers will drive, chip, and putt their way to a record breaking $1.5 million prize + a restored 1979 Firebird. We hope this year is on par.

History
Did you know? The CSC is the longest-running PGA event that is still held at its original site. World Golf Hall of Famer and hometown hero Ben Hogan won the inaugural tournament in 1946 and went on to win four more times.
Starting in 1952, champions and committee chairmen donned official Scottish royal tartan plaid jackets as an homage to the origins of the sport, and another Hall of Famer + North Texas local legend Byron Nelson teed off the first shot, a tradition that continued for 13 years.
Golf clap for these players — each year, previous tournament winners select two young players who weren’t eligible to compete as the “Champions Choice.” 2015 Masters Champion Jordan Spieth, yet another local golfer, was a Champions’ Choice invitee in 2014, before taking home the title in 2016.
