Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 Golf Picks & Predictions

Course Overview

The Charles Schwab Challenge has been contested at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas since 1946 — known as “Hogan’s Alley” in honour of Ben Hogan, who won here five times. Colonial plays to approximately 7,209 yards at par 70 along the Trinity River, designed by John Brademus and Perry Maxwell. Narrow tree-lined fairways, the Trinity River in play, and relatively small Bermuda greens make this a course where accuracy is rewarded and power is only a secondary advantage.

What to Look For

Colonial is an accuracy course. Strokes gained: approach-the-green and Bermuda putting are the most reliable performance indicators. The five par 3s on the par-70 layout demand elite short-iron performance. Past champions include Denny McCarthy, Daniel Berger, Bryson DeChambeau, and Jordan Spieth.

Maverick McNealy	Win	42/1(+4200)	1.00	LOSS	GENUINE CHANCE 🧨: PGA Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 The Colonial GC Fort Wayne, Texas, USA. Thursday 22nd May to 25th May. Tee off @ 10pm check times. I thought long & hard about this play. If we take out SCHEFFLER then I do think any of the Top 15 could win this & hard to fathom how a player with only 1 x PGA VICTORY sits in 11th in OWGR + 12th in FED Ex points. It comes down to SUPER CONSISTENT results- 5 x Top 10s in 2025. Another consistent result is he has made 12 CUTS from 14 events and to highlight those Top 10 results that actually equates to a SR @ 35.7% (that is considered high) if I picked player with 25% that is outstanding, albeit it is over a longer career. SO MUCH PRESSURE is on MC NEALY but we picked him @ VALERO when agame 3rd to Brian Harman,of note on day 4 he was 1 of only 12 players from a field of 65 to better PAR, again highlighting his usual consistency. He is more like an ALL ROUNDER, his skill set strengths is his APPROACH the GREEN + his Putting help him score lower than most. We are after good Ball striking players who are good with irons and not so much drivers. If you want very safe plays then Top 10 is your preferred if you think NO ONE can beat Scheffler, MC NEALY top 10 is still good odds @ $4.70 on betfair. It does however only cost you $1 if like me you think Scheffler can get rolled.
Jacob Bridgeman	Top 20	4.5/1(+450)	1.00	LOSS	IN RED 🔥FORM: PGA Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 The Colonial GC Fort Wayne, Texas, USA. Thursday 22nd May to 25th May. Tee off @ 10pm check times. ***Most VALUE this week is in the Top 10 + 20 markets. Still strivingor his 1st Win on Tour, we do not need him to win here though he has however already nailed 4 x Top 10s in 2025 from 15 events. If you take out SCHEFFLER from all markets there are players that could win their maiden WIN here, IGNORE this 24yr olds effort last week in USPGA the week prior he was a strong finishing T4 in TRUIST, I like when a player actually improvee ach day of play. BRIDGEMAN went 71 into a 67 then a HOT 65, 65 to finish -12, only 2 weeks after his other strong effort @ the PAIRS event in NEW ORLEANS he went -23 with Chandler Phillips. Who you ask? thats right. A T2 @ THE COGNIZANT & 3rd @ the Valspar has him closing in on a Win real soon, one would think at some point in 2025 he will WIN, the 2 that beat him there only by 2 strokes were HOVLAND & THOMAS. Currently a HIGH 24TH in SG TOTAL in all of PGA players whcih is HUGE & he does sit #3 in Putting, if he can stay out of trouble in the fairways he will feature. Happy to just stick with Top 20, odds via Betfair. Another to Play if you like is JAKE KNAPP he is around the $7.60 to Top 20, I HAVE 10 x players I am playing in this large market, just so much value.
J.J. Spaun	Top 10	6.4/1(+640)	1.00	WIN	A MUST 2 FOLLOW UP 💪: PGA Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 The Colonial GC Fort Wayne, Texas, USA. Thursday 22nd May to 25th May. Tee off @ 10pm check times. Simply put I was with him last week in a tougher affair. No need to jump off him now, he had strong stats for most of the weekend and was Top 10 in most significant stats. There was lengthy Analysis LAST WEEK. Another happy to just maintain a TOP 10 finish, odds courtesy of betfair.
Akshay Bhatia	Top 10	8/1(+800)	1.00	LOSS	TIME 4 THE LEFTY 🚀: PGA Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 The Colonial GC Fort Wayne, Texas, USA. Thursday 22nd May to 25th May. Tee off @ 10pm check times. We tipped him when he won his 1st event on PGA tour, Like the many young promising players (there are at least 40 to 50) that are destined to be good BHATIA has already won 2 now. The 2nd WIN came in TEXAS. THIS LEFTY is blessed with a very good PUTTER ( currently 9th) but he has improved many times way beyond his current ranking of 118th OFF the TEE. He does make up for it on APPROACH to the GREEN (46th) but highlighting his overall game he is now ranked 37th in SG Total. You have to play sigificant importance to players who sit in the TOP 50 IN SG TOTAL. I even consider those playing average tot we know they can, a few events can change that so it is important to look at why? Not all players like specific courses nor weather. I also like players to rest up and miss the odd week. I believe based on what I have seen from BHATIA, he is very close to returning to the form that saw in in ealry 2025 go -16, -10, -8, - & -15. He does frank the Top 10 with 3 in 2025 thus far.
