2026 Charles Schwab Challenge Betting & DFS Preview
About this episode
Andy Lack previews the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge with insights on course conditions and player betting recommendations.
In this episode of Inside Golf Podcast, Andy gives an overview of course talk, addressing setup concerns at TPC Craig Ranch following heavy rain and questioning why the new back tee boxes see so little use. The bulk of the episode focuses on Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth — covering its history, the 2023 Gil Hanse/Jim Wagner renovation, its typically over-par scoring, and why the course rewards accuracy, short-to-mid iron approach play, and around-the-green skill over raw distance, particularly out of non-overseeded Bermuda rough. He wraps up with model favorites and potential bets: Putnam, Cauley, Novak, JT, Henley, Hideki, Keegan, and Ryo — plus a quick nod to Knicks playoff excitement.
