The PGA Tour’s Texas swing continues this week with the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth and for once, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler isn’t listed as the betting favorite for a simple reason: He’s not playing this week! Instead, Swedish star Ludvig Aberg sits atop the betting oddsboard.
Here is everything you need to know about the Charles Schwab Challenge odds and other betting favorites to start the week.
This week represents a tough time on the PGA Tour schedule for the world’s top players. With back-to-back Signature Events preceding the PGA Championship, many players who elected to tee it up at last week’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson were playing their fourth week in a row, and will use this week for some much-needed rest ahead of next week’s Memorial Tournament — another Signature Event.
Conversely, those who opted to take last week off will be fresh and ready for this week. The top six players on the Charles Schwab Challenge odds list tell the story: none of them competed in last week’s tournament.
There is one exception when you reach No. 7, though: Wyndham Clark! Despite his victory on Sunday — the fourth of his career — the 32-year-old is not the prohibitive favorite at Colonial and instead has odds to win of +2500. Clark, notably, did not play the two Signature Events ahead of the PGA, and missed the cut at Aronimink.
This week, the tournament-favorite crown belongs to World No. 13 Ludvig Aberg, whose odds to win are +1000. Just behind him is Russell Henley at +1800, followed by Ben Griffin, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Robert MacIntyre at +2200.
