2024 Charles Schwab Challenge Champion’s Prize Revealed as a 1975 Schwab Stingray - Seite 2

Honoring our Heroes on Memorial Day Weekend

Schwab is proud to be an employer of choice for many who have served in the military and those who continue to serve. Over Memorial Day Weekend, Schwab will once again honor our heroes at the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge.

As part of its support for The Simpson Cup, an annual golf tournament between teams of injured servicemen and veterans, Schwab will once again host a work experience event during tournament week, with the organization’s On Course Foundation. The Foundation helps injured and disabled veterans build confidence and self-determination by opening doors to meaningful employment opportunities in the golf industry. Participants in the program will be onsite at the Colonial, working throughout the week, and participate in a golf skills clinic on Tuesday, May 21. Schwab has served as a proud partner of the On Course Foundation and The Simpson Cup since 2022.

Continuing a tradition that started in 2019 when Schwab took over sponsorship of the tournament, there will once again be a stop in play on Sunday, May 26 for PGA TOUR players, caddies and fans, to take time to reflect on those individuals in the military who lost their lives while serving our country. The moment of silence will conclude with a military flyover as a reminder of the significance of Memorial Day.

The Challengers Film Series

Schwab’s award-winning digital content series, “The Challengers,” returns for the sixth straight year to recognize and celebrate those individuals in golf who, like the firm, challenge the status quo. Episodes feature:

• Golfer and content creator Gabriella DeGasperis, who leads with positivity on and off the course
• Fried Egg Golf founder Andy Johnson, who is working to make golf architecture more approachable
• Former golf-writer turned country club operator Tom Coyne, who is helping revitalize a storied course in the Catskills.
• PGA Teaching Professional Michael Block, who won the hearts of golf fans and became a household name after his history-making play at the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill.

The 5 Performance Center

Onsite at Colonial, the state-of-the-art fan engagement zone, “The 5: Schwab Performance Center,” will return, inspired by tournament legend Ben Hogan’s “Five Lessons, The Modern Fundamentals of Golf" and Schwab’s approach to thematic investing, which helps individuals discover and invest in trends and new opportunities that align with their interests and values.
