Following last week’s PGA Championship many of the top players, including the new PGA champion, will make the trip to Fort Worth.
This is the 2nd tournament in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the last three weeks.
Prior to last week’s PGA Championship, the tour was in Dallas for the ATT Byron Nelson won by K.H. Lee.
This week’s field includes the PGA Champion, Justin Thomas fresh off his 2 major championship win.
Also in the field is world #1 golfer, Scottie Scheffler, looking for a bounce back after missing the cut at last week’s Major.
Other Notables looking for a share of the $8.4 million purse are:
Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English, Tony Finau, Viktor Hovland, Colin Morikawa, Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Speith, Gary Woodland, Will Zalatoris.
Two-time Charles Schwab Challenge winner, Phil Mickelson (2000,2008) is still in his self imposed timeout after withdrawing from last week’s PGA Championship.
It’s still to be known if Phil will be in the field for the first LIV Golf tournamet that debuts in London June 9-11.
One player in the field this week has made it known that he will be playing in the LIV Golf events despite the PGA Tour revoking releases for players wanting to participate.
Richard Bland, who has been a staple on the DP World Tour, and winning for the first time in 2021, has made it known that the money being offered by the LIV Golf event could secure his future.
He has yet to hear from the DP World Tour regarding their stance on the LIV Golf events.
Many expect the DP World Tour to adopt a similiar stance as the PGA Tour in revoking releases for players wanting the participate in the rival league.
