The week after a major always feels like a hangover.
Four straight days of 12 hours on the couch, eating like crap, and maybe indulging in a few adult beverages will do it every time.
Now, it’s time for a quick turnaround as the PGA Tour heads back down to Texas for what feels like the 10th time.
The Charles Schwab Challenge, despite its spot on the schedule, has conjured up quite the field here in 2022. PGA champion Justin Thomas isn’t taking any time to celebrate his second career major win and is set to tee off Thursday at Colonial Country Club.
Joining him are World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland and Will Zalatoris.

Key statistics
Driving accuracy: Colonial has the fourth narrowest fairways on Tour.
Strokes Gained: Around the Green: Colonial has the seventh smallest greens on Tour, so players who get up and down when they inevitably miss the green will have a significant advantage this week.
