While the Charles Schwab Challenge isn’t classified as a signature event, it holds a special place on the PGA Tour calendar, taking place at the historic Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, one of the most iconic and tradition-rich venues in the game.
Let’s go over what’s on the line this weekend at the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge.
Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 Purse
The Charles Schwab Challenge, established in 1946, has been held annually at Colonial Country Club ever since. It is one of only five tournaments on the PGA Tour to hold “invitational” status, meaning it features a smaller, more selective field.
While the number of participants is limited, only the top 65 finishers will earn a share of the prize money. This year’s purse is set at $9.5 million, with the winner taking home 18%, a total of $1.71 million. Players who make the cut are guaranteed a payout, with the 65th-place finisher earning $20,425.
Below, we’ll break down the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge purse and payouts for every player this weekend.
