2021 Charles Schwab Challenge to Honor 75th Anniversary Celebration of Golf at Historic Texas Tournament - Seite 2

The 5 Performance Center

Onsite at Colonial, the state-of-the-art fan engagement zone, “The 5: Schwab Performance Center,” will return and showcase the five modern fundamentals of both golf and investing, linking tournament legend Ben Hogan’s ground-breaking approach to the game and Schwab’s modern approach to investing and retirement. It also will thread together the 75-year history of the tournament with a new, Hogan-themed activation designed to help visitors improve all aspects of their game. Fans with tickets to the Charles Schwab Challenge can visit the Schwab Performance Center from May 27-30. Social distancing, and health and safety measures will be in effect; face coverings will be required.

Remembering Fallen Heroes

Given the tournament’s return to the Memorial Day weekend after a three-week postponement in 2020, this year’s event will also pay tribute to the members of the U.S. military who gave their lives in service to their country. During play on Sunday, May 30, a moment of silence will be observed on the course, accompanied by a flyover of military aircraft to further mark the solemn occasion – a one-of-a-kind milestone in professional golf.

The Charles Schwab Challenge, the longest running professional golf tournament on the PGA TOUR at the same venue, has been a mainstay in the North Texas community since 1946. Over the decades, the tournament has seen champions representing the biggest names in golf including, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, and of course, Ben Hogan.

Charles Schwab & Co. signed on as title sponsor of the PGA TOUR’s Fort Worth Invitational at Colonial Country Club in 2018. Already a major sponsor of the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions, the firm’s four-year agreement marked its first-ever title sponsorship of a PGA TOUR event. Schwab continues to grow rapidly in the Metroplex where its new 70-acre, LEED-certified campus in Westlake was recently was designated as home to the firm’s corporate headquarters.
