Golf tips, free bets and latest odds for The Charles Schwab Challenge
Scottie Scheffler showed just how much this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge means to him, by getting his lawyer to switch his court appearance in Kentucky from Tuesday to June 3.
The Charles Schwab is played at Colonial, just a few miles from Scheffler’s home in Dallas, and it is one of the first events he highlights on his calendar.
The bookmakers have taken the hint, and they have installed the world No 1 as a red hot 3-1 favourite.

But Scheffler’s shock arrest for swerving around a road barrier at the USPGA - and allegedly assaulting a policeman who tried to stop him - must be playing on the God-fearing family man’s mind.
He admitted he was “not himself” when he stumbled to a two over par 73 in the third round at Valhalla, ending his incredible streak of 42 consecutive rounds at par or better, and wrecking his chances of a third Major title.
