🏆 Who is the favorite to win Charles Schwab Challenge?
Ludvig Aberg (+850)
Ludvig Aberg enters the Charles Schwab Challenge as the betting favorite because the field is missing two of the sport’s biggest stars: Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. With both players sitting out this week, Aberg becomes the highest-ranked and most consistent golfer in the field.
The young Swede has been in outstanding form recently, posting eight straight top-25 finishes and a top-four finish at the PGA Championship. His elite ball-striking and all-around consistency make him a perfect fit for Colonial Country Club, where precision is critical. That combination of current form, upside, and a weaker field explains why sportsbooks have installed Aberg as the favorite.
💰 Pick to win Charles Schwab Challenge
Here's my early pick to win Charles Schwab Challenge as part of our golf picks this week.
Hideki Matsuyama (+3000)
Hideki Matsuyama has all the tools to win the Charles Schwab Challenge this week at Colonial Country Club. The course rewards elite iron play and precision off the tee, two areas where Matsuyama consistently excels. His ball-striking remains among the best on the PGA Tour, and Colonial’s demanding layout fits his controlled style perfectly.
With Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and several other stars skipping the event, Matsuyama enters as one of the most accomplished players in the field. He already owns 11 PGA Tour victories and has proven he can win on difficult, strategic golf courses. Matsuyama is also coming in with strong betting support around +3000, making him one of the top contenders to lift the trophy on Sunday.
