On the heels of an unforgettable PGA<\/a> Championship at famed Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, the PGA Tour heads back to Texas for its annual stop at another historic venue, that being Colonial Country Club, which first hosted the event currently known as the Charles Schwab Challenge in 1946.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eleven of the top 30 players in the Official World Golf Ranking are in the field, headlined by Texas resident Scottie Scheffler<\/a>, who lost in a playoff at last year's Charles Schwab Challenge to good friend Sam Burns, who's also teeing it up this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other favorites this week include Viktor Hovland, Jordan Spieth<\/a>, Tony Finau, Collin Morikawa, and Max Homa<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But despite all the star power at the 2023 edition of the Charles Schwab Challenge, the most popular player in the field this week could very well be Michael Block<\/a>, the PGA Professional who won the collective heart of the golf world at Oak Hill and was invited to Colonial on a sponsor exemption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's see how things could play out at “Hogan's Alley.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few predictions for the 2023 edition of the Charles Schwab Challenge from Sports7 golf experts Luke Norris<\/a> and Jack Dougherty<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Luke Norris:<\/strong> Viktor Hovland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Viktor Hovland doesn't win the Charles Schwab Challenge, I'm just going to stop picking him to win anything not named the Hero World Challenge. Seriously, the guy is just too good to keep losing tournaments the way he has. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viktor Hovland's second shot caught the lip of the bunker.

He made double bogey on 16.
