Charles Schwab Cup Championship: Field, format, more at Phoenix Country Club
PHOENIX — After 28 tournaments over the last 10 months, the PGA Tour Champions 2024 season reaches the end of the road at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.
Phoenix Country Club is the host venue for the season finale, the final leg of a three-tournament postseason. Outside of the five majors on the senior circuit, this is the only 72-hole event on the schedule.
The regular season consisted of 25 tournaments and then only the top 72 golfers advanced to the first event of the postseason. Those 72 golfers became 54 for last week's event, won by Padraig Harrington. Now there are just 36 remaining.

Scottie Scheffler 'forming himself into' becoming the next Tiger Woods, former World No 1 says
Scottie Scheffler is in a class of his own. The World No. 1 golfer is the heavy favorite to win this weekend's U.S. Open. In fact, he has the lowest odds of anybody in a major since Tiger Woods at the 2009 PGA Championship (it remains the only time Woods lost a 54-hole lead in a major). Scheffler is the only other player to be the No. 1-ranked player in the world for more than 100 consecutive weeks. Of course, Woods holds the top-two longest stretches of 281 and 264, so Scheffler has a long way to go. But if anyone in the game of golf is going to draw comparisons to the 15-time major winner among pro golfers, it's Scheffler. "Everyone's looking at Scottie right now and how consistent he is. When he doesn't win, he's in the top five. That's very difficult to do," Jason Day, a former World No. 1, said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. Scheffler had one of the greatest seasons in PGA history last year with eight wins, including the Masters and Olympics, making an all-time record $54 million in prize money - if 2024 Scottie Scheffler were its own player, it'd be the 14th-largest career earnings ever, and he's already in second place, behind Woods. He's followed that up with three wins this year, including his third major in the PGA Championship. In 12 events played, he has nine top 10s and has yet to finish outside the top 20. Day said Woods "was a different beast." But we are "potentially, for sure" "seeing someone build himself into the next Tiger." "I know how dominant Tiger was back in the day when I first started playing, so I'm not going to say anything in terms of how far Scottie's got to go and what he has to do in his career, but we're starting to see Scottie forming himself into potential greatness and one of the best of all time," Day said. "Let's just sit back and watch it, he's great. And priorities change. You have kids, other business interests, injuries, a lot of things can happen in your life. But he seems like he's very balanced from when he's on and off the course. He's a competitive guy, he loves competing, and you can see it when he plays golf." At one point, it looked like Day would do what Scheffler is doing now. At a point, he kind of was. In 17 events from July 26, 2015, to May 15 the following year, Day won seven of those, including his lone major in the PGA Championship. He won four of his final seven starts of the 2015 season and won three of his first 10. Since then, injuries have taken a toll on Day, who is currently ranked 39th and has just two wins since 2016. He's found his form recently with some better finishes amid grinding through his injuries. Does he look at Scheffler and get jealous? "The easy answer is you can't be jealous because you're not in that position," he said. "If you put yourself in that position where you can win all the time, then it's easy to put yourself there. But I was talking to Tiger one time, talking about getting inside the top 50, and he goes, 'I have an idea for you. Play better.' You can be jealous if you're seeing someone else succeed if you're not putting in the work. But if you're putting in the work, some guys are just better than you. But if you're sitting back saying, 'That should be me,' and not putting in the work, then you've got to re-evaluate things in your life." Day will be at Oakmont this weekend, aiming to end that 10-year major drought. He catered his home to the viral Oakmont conditions, but he's also feeling pretty good. "Being No. 1 in the world, I knew how hard it was to get there, the work and effort and distractions that came with it. It's hard to sit there and say injuries have taken me out of some momentum, but a career is very long. I'm trying to get these recent injuries behind me, and if I can have some healthy years and hit the ball hard, focus on what I need to do, hopefully I'll give myself a chance to challenge some of the best in the world."

US Open tee time awaits Docherty less than a month after horrific car accident
Associated Press OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — What Alistair Docherty thought was smoke was really the powder bursting out of the freshly deployed airbag. There was no mistaking the blood and glass covering everything in the wrecked white minivan. Docherty was driving May 20 when he got T-boned in an intersection, two days before the Korn Ferry's Visit Knoxville Open. On June 2, the 31-year-old, who missed his PGA Tour card by two spots at the end of last season, qualified for the U.S. Open. At 6:45 a.m. Thursday, Docherty will tee off at Oakmont. It's no stretch to say he's happy to be here, but Docherty wants more than just a good memory to close out this wild three weeks. 'It's not a miracle,' Docherty said after wrapping up a practice round that hardly looked possible less than a month ago, as he was tangled in the blood and glass. 'I'm very thankful. But it's definitely where I believe I'm supposed to be. Everything works out for a reason. I'm just trying to take advantage.' The pictures tell the story best. One is of the passenger's side of the minivan, sitting in the grass near the intersection, crumpled almost beyond recognition after getting slammed by an SUV that ran a red light. Another is Docherty lying in a hospital bed, lips pierced, eyes barely open, wearing a hospital gown draped over part of his neck collar. 'My car spun around a few times. I felt glass and everything come at me,' Docherty said. 'I opened my eyes and thought I saw smoke. I jumped out of the car as quickly as possible. It ended up being the stuff coming out of the airbag. I walked around a little dazed, and I was covered in blood and glass.' At the hospital, doctors and nurses were able to clean the glass off his body — no major damage there. The scans came back clean — nothing broken, either. Docherty said his shoulder and legs took the brunt of the crash. Constant work with the physical therapist allowed him to set his sites on June 2 at Duke University Golf Club. He shot 72-64 in the 36-hole qualifier to earn one of seven spots available there. The third part of that photo essay is him holding his invitation to play in the U.S. Open this week. Docherty knows he's lucky to be here but he's aiming for more — knowing a strong performance in this, his first major, could result in his second life-changing moment in a month. 'This is a great test to see where my game is at right now,' he said. 'If you show up thinking 'I don't have a chance here,' then you're done. so, I believe I have a chance to play my best here and see where it puts me.' ___ AP golf: in this topic
