PGA Tour Announces Unfortunate Zach Johnson News Before Charles Schwab Challenge
The PGA Championship concluded this Sunday, with Scottie lifting the Wanamaker Trophy at 11-under. Up next, he's set to tee off at the Charles Schwab Challenge beginning May 22. Before that, PGA Tour announced unfortunate news about a fellow golfer. Zach Johnson has decided to withdraw from the upcoming tournament; the PGA Tour announced on Monday that the $49.8 million golfer will be replaced by Camilo Villegas.

Colonial Country Club's tree-lined, narrow fairways and 29 strategically placed bunkers reward technical precision and penalize errant tee shots, making it one of the Tour's purest ball-striking tests. Winners here receive 500 FedExCup points.

Recent renovations, including a $20 million restoration to recapture Perry Maxwell's classic design, have preserved the course's strategic challenges while modernizing greens and bunker complexes. Besides the World No. 1, defending champion Davis Riley, major winner Hideki Matsuyama, long hitter Maverick McNealy, crafty shotmaker Tommy Fleetwood, and former Masters champ Jordan Spieth will also be participating in the challenge.

Scottie Scheffler branded 'monster' after US PGA Championship win
Scottie Scheffler underlined his ability to cope under immense pressure as he won the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow for the first time, adding to his two Masters triumphs Scottie Scheffler has been dubbed 'a monster' after clinching his third major title. The world No.1 cruised to his third major title in the 107th PGA Championship. Scheffler overcame an early stumble to card a closing 71 and finish 11 under par, five shots ahead of Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley. As well as taking home the Wanamaker Trophy for the first time, Scheffler joined the legendary Seve Ballesteros in an exclusive club of players since 1906 to win their first three majors by three or more shots. Composure on and off the green has earned Scheffler numerous plaudits, but according to CBS sports commentator and former Masters winner Trevor Immelman, his placid demeanour belies a cutthroat nature beneath the surface that emerges when stakes are high. Speaking on the Fried Egg Golf podcast, Immelman said: "I have a ton of respect for Scottie, as a human, as a competitor, as a golfer. He lulls you to sleep with his calmness and how he seems not to be too affected by too much. But he's mean, man, he's a mean competitor. "If you pull back some of those layers of the gentlemanly aspect that he portrays and you just isolate the competitor when he's out on the course, he's a monster, an absolute monster. I love that, I love watching it." To illustrate Immelman's point, Scheffler drew attention to his mental toughness in clinching the PGA Championship. He said: "This is a special tournament. Any time you can win a major championship is pretty cool and I'm proud of how I did this week just staying in it mentally and hitting the shots when I needed to. "This back nine will be one that I remember for a long time. It was a grind out there. I think at one point on the front, I maybe had a four or five-shot lead, and making the turn I think I was tied for the lead. "So to step up when I needed to the most, I'll remember that for a while. I always try to lean as much as I can on my mind. I think that's probably my greatest strength. "Today and this week I really just feel like I did such a good job of staying patient when I wasn't swinging it my best but I hit the shots when I needed to. I hit the important shots well this week, and that's why I'm walking away with the trophy." Scheffler would be forgiven for taking a break after his victory at Quail Hollow, but he will be back at it straight away after confirming his participation in the Charles Schwab Challenge at Fort Worth, where the victor will collect £1.3million. Location will have helped his decision as Scheffler resides in nearby Dallas. But he has no intention of just making up the numbers, saying: "I didn't just show up here to Fort Worth to just walk around and celebrate last week. 'I'm here for a reason, and that ́s not to just play a couple of ceremonious rounds and then ride off in the sunset. I'm here for a reason, that's to compete."

Scottie Scheffler's Odds to Win Charles Schwab are Ludicrous
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Many players would take some time to rest and reset after winning a major championship, but that is not the case for Scottie Scheffler. After dominating the field at Quail Hollow to win his first PGA Championship, Scheffler is teeing it up once again at the Charles Schwab Challenge just four days after lifting, and breaking the Wanamaker Trophy. The three-time major champion is the favorite to win just about any tournament that he enters at this point, and that is especially true in a somewhat diluted field at Colonial Country Club just after a major. Scheffler enters the tournament as a +240 favorite, per FanDuel Sportsbook, a number that you very rarely see before a golf tournament. Jordan Spieth and Daniel Berger are next in line at 22-to-1 to win.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS - MAY 21: Scottie Scheffler of the United States hits a tee shot on the 13th hole during a practice round prior to the Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 at Colonial Country Club on May 21, 2025 in Fort Worth, Texas. More Photo byEssentially, the World No. 1 is 10 times more likely to win this week than any other player. While it is surprising that Scheffler is opting to play just after such a big achievement, the Texan will be close to home in Fort Worth, so it won't be too far out of the way for him. The 28-year old usually plays well in his home state and dominated his last start in Texas winning the CJ Cup Byron Nelson just before the PGA Championship with a mind-blowing score of 31-under par. If Scheffler can produce anything close to that level of golf at Colonial, it will be nearly impossible to beat him. After a difficult couple of months where Scheffler couldn't get into the winner's circle, he has won two starts in a row. Now, Scheffler is brimming with confidence and the floodgates may have opened. The oddsmakers certainly think so and are favoring him to get his third victory in a row.
