Charles Schwab Challenge Golf Tips & Predictions

We have expert betting tips for the Charles Schwab Challenge this week, which features a wide-open betting market for the PGA Tour tournament.

Ludvig Aberg is the current $10 favourite, and with most of the biggest names having a week off, the Charles Schwab Challenge is up for grabs.

We look at the best Charles Schwab Challenge picks, including our best bet, best roughie, and top 10.

Best Bet

Russell Henley @ $18.00

Bet Now

Russell Henley has been right around the mark this year without winning, and the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational winner should play well this week.

He’s one of the best putters on the PGA Tour, which always gives him a chance to win, and he only needs the rest of his game to measure up. If his driving accuracy is good this week, we expect him to be on the first page of the leaderboard.

At $18, he’s a better bet than Aberg at $10, so we’re putting him on top in a tournament that has no standout performer.

Best Value Bet

Justin Thomas @ $20.00

Bet Now

Justin Thomas should relish the opportunity to win a PGA Tour event this week with the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Xander Schauffele enjoying some time off.

The American has been knocking on the door of an overdue win, but he keeps coming up just short. However, if he puts four rounds together at Colonial Country Club, he could come away with the title.

Our Charles Schwab Challenge picks can’t leave out Thomas at $20. It’s a good price for an experienced player, who should win in 2026.

Best Roughie

Sahith Theegala @ $51.00

Bet Now

It’s hard to know what Sahith Theegala will produce week to week, but he made the cut at the PGA Championship before taking some time off last week.

The 28-year-old is a two-time PGA Tour winner, with his most recent win coming at the Fortinet Championship, and he meets a similar field this week.

We priced him at shorter odds than $51, so we’re including him in golf picks at $51 as a roughie, and he could give punters a good sight at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Next Best

Sungjae Im @ $36.00

Bet Now

Sungjae Im is one of the hardest working players on the PGA Tour, and after a couple of good results, including a T9 at the Byron Nelson last week, he looks ready to win.

The South Korean is no stranger to winning on the PGA Tour, having posted two wins, but his most recent came in 2021. It has been five years since he won, and he’s far too good to go that long without a victory.

Beating fields of this nature shouldn’t be too difficult for Im, and we’re snapping up the $36 odds from bookmakers, which is an excellent price.

Top 10

Alex Smalley @ $4.20

Bet Now

There has been a steady flow of money for Alex Smalley to win the Charles Schwab Challenge, so we’re including him in our top 10 bets.

Smalley finished T2 at the PGA Championship, which explains the money coming for him, and he could have hit a purple patch.

The $4.20 odds are a good price for a top 10 finish, so include him in golf bets this week.
