2026 Charles Schwab Challenge odds, picks: Proven golf model reveals projected leaderboard, surprising predictions
The second Texas tournament in as many weeks takes place, beginning Thursday, with the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club. Wyndham Clark won last week at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, rewarding those who utilized him in their PGA picks. But you’ll have to look elsewhere for this week’s golf picks after Clark withdrew from the Charles Schwab Challenge 2026, after Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth also pulled out. Ludvig Aberg is the favorite at +800, and then there’s a wide gap before anyone else on the PGA odds board.
Other contenders include Russell Henley at +1800 and Justin Thomas at +2200. Ben Griffin is the defending champion and is at +2200 to utilize in 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge bets.
Before locking in any 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge picks, you NEED to see the golf prediction and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, simulates every PGA Tour tournament 10,000 times, and has a lengthy history of being extremely profitable.
Now, with the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge field set, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising.
One major surprise the model is calling for: Ben Griffin (+2200), who has just three golfers with shorter odds and is the defending champion, stumbles and falls to even crack the top 10! Another surprise: Akshay Bhatia makes a run for the title despite having +3300 odds. He’s a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday!
The model is also targeting TWO OTHER longshots of at least +4000 to surge towards the top of the leaderboard! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any PGA picks!
