Fans can’t attend the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge, the PGA Tour’s first tournament since March, this week in Fort Worth; but they can still participate and give to COVID-19 relief nationally and local charities in the Metroplex — and be entered to win prizes at the same time.
The Schwab Challenge and PGA Tour have launched the “Rise to the Challenge” platform at schwabgolf.com. Donors can give online and will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win more than 300 prizes, ranging from signed player memorabilia to VIP ticket packages. Winners will be announced each hour via Twitter during this week’s tournament.
Prizes include:
· VIP access to the 2021 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, and a 2019 Presidents Cup pin flag signed by captains Tiger Woods and Ernie Els
· Signed golf memorabilia, donated from every player at the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge
· Walk inside the ropes with Suzy Whaley, president of the PGA of America, during the 2021 PGA Championship
· A custom wedge fitting directly from Bob Vokey, one of the world's foremost wedge designers, at the Titleist Performance Institute in Carlsbad, California
· A round of golf at Bandon Dunes in Southern Oregon with course architect, David Kidd
· A round of golf at Sweetens Cove Golf Club outside Chattanooga, Tennessee, with course architect, Rob Collins
· A round of golf with a PGA Tour pro at the Colonial Country Club
“This tournament is associated with some of the greatest names to play the sport and Charles Schwab is honored to help continue its tradition,” said Jonathan Craig, senior executive vice president, investor services and marketing at Charles Schwab. “It is fitting that this tournament, with its rich history, will mark an early step for the country as it begins its cautious recovery from the pandemic. Though the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge will understandably operate differently than originally planned, our commitment to the tournament, its fans and the Dallas-Fort Worth community remains unwavering.”
