The golf shop is just a few steps away from where the pros practice on the putting green.

PHOENIX — The golf shop at Phoenix Country Club has quite a collection of not just Charles Schwab Cup Championship gear but also cool club merchandise as well.

The central city club, first established in 1899, celebrates the year of its founding with 1899 on some hats. There’s retro-looking Phoenix Country Club hats and shirts. The Schwab logo is also prominent throughout the pro shop, just feet away from where the pros practice on the putting green.

First played at Phoenix Country Club in 2017, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship has extended its deal to play at the venue through 2032.

Check out some of the merch, which also includes ball makers, engraved glassware and golf bags.

It’s the season finale on the PGA Tour Champions.

PHOENIX — Phoenix Country Club is hosting the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, the season-ending event for the PGA Tour Champions, for the seventh time.

The club was established in 1899 with 75 members and started out with a nine-hole layout as well as tennis courts. The club moved to a second location a few miles north for a few years and then in 1919, the club upgraded to its permanent home in central Phoenix.

The golf course was designed by Harry Collis and originally featured oiled sand greens, once a staple of golf courses in certain areas of the country like Texas and Oklahoma.

In 1932 the venue hosted the inaugural Phoenix Open, which was won by Ralph Guldahl, who captured two U.S Opens and the 1939 Masters.

It was redesigned in 2002 Tom Lehman and John Fought. It now plays as a par 71 measuring 6,860 yards.

5 things to know about the 2023 Charles Schwab Cup Championship (which already has a winner)

On Sunday, regardless of his position on the leaderboard, Steve Stricker will hoist the Schwab Cup trophy.

PHOENIX — For just the third time since it started in 2001, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship has been decided before reaching the final event of the year.

Steve Stricker lapped his over-50 cohorts in 2023, winning six times, including three senior majors. He’s closing in on the $4 million mark in earnings for the season, and even if he were to finish last this at Phoenix Country Club, he’d earn enough to become the first Champions player to reach that plateau in a single season on tour.

Stricker had more than doubled the No. 2 golfer on the money list, Steven Alker, and with such a sizeable lead, Stricker chose to skip the first playoffs event. Then, anyone with a shot to catch him finished far enough down the leaderboard that he was able to clinch the season title without even playing.

He also chose not to play last week’s TimberTech Championship but will compete in the 2023 Charles Schwab Cup Championship, an event he skipped a year ago. On Sunday, regardless of his position on the leaderboard, he will hoist the Schwab Cup trophy for the first time.
