Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, is likely to lose its long-standing PGA Tour event after an 80-year run, according to an exclusive report by Golfweek's Adam Schupak. The historic tournament, which has been a fixture on the PGA Tour schedule since 1946, faces an uncertain future as the tour continues to reshape its calendar.
The Colonial National Invitation, known in recent years as the Charles Schwab Challenge, has been one of the tour's most traditional stops. Colonial Country Club, designed by Perry Maxwell and John Bredemus, has hosted the event every year since its inception except for 1949. The tournament has crowned major champions including Ben Hogan, who won five times, as well as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and more recently, Scottie Scheffler.
The potential loss of Colonial would mark another significant shift in the PGA Tour's schedule amid ongoing changes in professional golf's landscape. Tour officials have not publicly confirmed the move, but sources indicate the decision is part of a broader realignment of tour events.
