In two weeks, we’ll be back to live PGA Tour golf and many of the world’s top-ranked players are ready to go.

The Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial CC in Fort Worth, Texas, has commitments from the top five players in the Official World Golf Ranking: Rory McIlroy (1), Jon Rahm (2), Brooks Koepka (3), Justin Thomas (4) and Dustin Johnson (5).

Furthermore, seven of the top ten players in the world and 15 of the top 20 are in the field, including Patrick Reed (T-7) and Webb Simpson (9).

Thomas committed just this week, as did Xander Schauffele (12), Tony Finau (16) and Shane Lowry (20).

Adam Scott (6), Patrick Cantlay (T-7) and Tommy Fleetwood (10) are the three top-10 players who are not in the field yet. The OWGR is as of May 28. The ranking is updated weekly. Golfers have until 5 p.m. local time on Friday, June 5 to enter.

Tiger Woods, currently ranked 11th in the world, has not committed to the Schwab.

Kevin Na is back to defend his title. His four-shot victory in the 2019 Charles Schwab Challenge came with a $1.314 million winner’s check, the Leonard Trophy, a Scottish tartan plaid jacket and a fully restored 1973 Dodge Challenger, which he then gave to his caddie Kenny Harms.
