The '''Colonial National Invitation''', titled for sponsorship reasons as the '''Charles Schwab Challenge''' since [[2018–19 PGA Tour|2019]], is a professional [[golf]] tournament in [[Texas]] on the [[PGA Tour]], played annually in May in [[Fort Worth, Texas|Fort Worth]] at [[Colonial Country Club (Fort Worth)|Colonial Country Club]], which organizes the event.  It is one of five invitational tournaments on the PGA Tour; the inaugural event was held {{Years or months ago|1946}} in 1946.

==Overview==
Founded in 1946,<ref name=inaug46>{{cite news |title=Little Ben Hogan takes Colonial golf match |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=uL8qAAAAIBAJ&sjid=m2QEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1893%2C4124167 |work=Sarasota Herald-Tribune |location=(Florida) |agency=Associated Press |date=May 20, 1946 |page=10}}</ref> the tournament honors the history of golf by using an official [[Scotland|Scottish]] [[tartan|tartan plaid]] jacket for its champions and top committee chairmen. Another tradition feeding Colonial history is the Wall of Champions on the first tee, engraved with the name and score of each champion dating back to 1946, plus the [[1975 Tournament Players Championship]], [[1941 U.S. Open (golf)|1941 U.S. Open]], and [[1991 U.S. Women's Open]]. 

The tournament is unofficially associated with [[Ben Hogan]] (1912–1997), the long-time Fort Worth resident who won the tournament five times,<ref name=bhwicp>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=BPtVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5eIDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4491%2C853641 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |location=(Oregon) |agency=Associated Press |title=Ben Hogan winner in Colonial playoff |date=May 5, 1959 |page=1C }}</ref> the most of any player. One of the top players in golf history, he won nine [[Men's major golf championships|major]] titles, six after a near-fatal automobile collision in 1949 that kept him hospitalized for two months. Hogan's final three major wins were consecutive in 1953; a statue of him at swing completion is near the clubhouse.<ref name=spirofhog>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.golfdigest.com/blogs/the-loop/2011/05/sirak-the-spirit-of-hogan-at-colonial.html |magazine=Golf Digest |last=Sirak |first=Ron |title=Spirit of Hogan remains at Colonial |date=May 17, 2011 |access-date=May 27, 2014}}</ref>

[[Annika Sörenstam]] played in the 2003 tournament and became the first woman to play in a PGA Tour event in 58 years, since [[Babe Didrikson Zaharias|Babe Zaharias]] made three cuts as an [[amateur]] in 1945.<ref name=moprf>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=VHw0AAAAIBAJ&sjid=VsgEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1583%2C2994527 |newspaper=Times Daily |location=Florence, Alabama |agency=Associated Press |last=Ferguson |first=Doug |title=Moment of proof |date=May 21, 2003 |page=5C }}</ref><ref name=bwbttg>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=GfMaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=L0gEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6758%2C1995950 |newspaper=Daily News |location=Bowling Green, Kentucky |agency=Associated Press |last=Lozano |first=Juan A. |title=Babe was bigger than the game |date=May 18, 2003 }}</ref> Sörenstam's participation drew high media attention, but she shot 71 and 74 and missed the cut by four strokes.<ref name=rffct03>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Y_BRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=z3ADAAAAIBAJ&pg=3293%2C1545950 |newspaper=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette |agency=Associated Press |last=Ferguson |first=Doug |title=Rough cut |date=May 24, 2003 |page=B1}}</ref>

In [[2019–20 PGA Tour|2020]], the tournament was held June 11–14 as the first PGA Tour event staged since the interruption of the regular schedule in mid-March due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. In the interests of maximum health and safety, the event had no spectators, a PGA Tour first.

==Sponsors==
The [[Charles Schwab Corporation]], whose corporate headquarters relocated to the nearby suburb of [[Westlake, Texas|Westlake]] in 2021,<ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/charles-schwab-to-officially-move-headquarters-to-denton-county-on-jan-1/2514658/ | title=Charles Schwab to Officially Move Headquarters to Denton County on Jan. 1 | first=Hannah | last=Jones | work=[[KXAS-TV]] | date=December 28, 2020}}</ref> became the title sponsor of the event for a four-year deal starting in 2019.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.cbssports.com/golf/news/charles-schwab-taking-over-as-colonial-country-club-pga-tour-event-sponsor-in-2019/ |title=Charles Schwab taking over as Colonial Country Club PGA Tour event sponsor in 2019 |work=CBS Sports}}</ref>

Previous sponsors were [[Dean & Deluca]] (2016–2017), [[Crowne Plaza]] (2007–2015), [[Bank of America]] (2003–2006), [[MasterCard]] (1996–2002), and [[AT&T|Southwestern Bell]] (1989–1994). There was no title sponsor in 1995 or 2018.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/company/2016/02/15/dean-deluca-new-title-sponsor-colonial.html |publisher=PGA Tour |title=Dean & DeLuca announced as title sponsor of Colonial event |date=February 15, 2016}}</ref>

The event name had "Colonial" in its title through 2015, when the '''Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial''' was renamed the '''Dean & DeLuca Invitational'''.  Even the unsponsored 2018 event used the name '''Fort Worth Invitational''', as opposed to "Colonial National Invitation" which was used the last time the event was without a sponsor back in 1995.

The 2018 tournament, renamed the Fort Worth Invitational, was held through the support of four local corporate supporters that had stepped-in to provide financial support after Dean & DeLuca suddenly pulled-out of a six-year sponsorship agreement.  American Airlines, AT&T, XTO Energy Inc. and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway agreed to help fund the 2018 tournament to allow time for the PGA TOUR and Colonial Country Club to find a new sponsor.

==Invitational status==
The Charles Schwab Challenge is one of only five tournaments given "[[Open (sport)#Related terms|invitational]]" status by the [[PGA Tour]], and consequently it has a reduced field of approximately 132 players in 2024 (as opposed to most full-field open tournaments with a field of 144 or 156 players).  The other four tournaments with invitational status are the [[Genesis Open]], [[Arnold Palmer Invitational]], the [[RBC Heritage]], and the [[Memorial Tournament]].  However, the 2020 event was staged with 144 players to help make up for the loss of several tournaments canceled earlier in the year.

Invitational tournaments have smaller fields (between 69 and 132 players), and have more freedom than full-field open tournaments in determining which players are eligible to participate in their event, as invitational tournaments have slightly different criteria for player eligibility in the PGA Tour Priority Ranking System.  Furthermore, unlike full-field open tournaments, invitational tournaments do not offer open qualifying (aka Monday qualifying).

==Field==
The field consists of at least 120 players invited using the following criteria:<ref>[http://www.deananddelucainvitational.com/sites/default/files/files/eligibilityonepage2016.docx.pdf Colonial National Invitation Tournament - 2016 Eligibility]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://playersupport.pgatourhq.com/Tour/PLP/playersupportinforegistration.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/domino/OpenAttachment/Tour/PLP/playersupportinforegistration.nsf/C727DB7A7733806285257CC50066F582/pgAttachments/2015-16%20PGA%20TOUR%20Handbook%20&%20Regulations%20-%20Final.pdf|title=2015–16 PGA Tour Player Handbook & Tournament Regulations|date=October 5, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160412192428/https://playersupport.pgatourhq.com/Tour/PLP/playersupportinforegistration.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/domino/OpenAttachment/Tour/PLP/playersupportinforegistration.nsf/C727DB7A7733806285257CC50066F582/pgAttachments/2015-16%20PGA%20TOUR%20Handbook%20%26%20Regulations%20-%20Final.pdf|archive-date=April 12, 2016}}</ref>

==Champion's Choice tradition==
Colonial has a unique PGA Tour tradition known as the '''Champion's Choice''' invitation.  Each year, former Colonial champions select two deserving young players, who otherwise would be ineligible, to compete in the tournament.

Pros who made their first appearance at Colonial as a Champion's Choice include [[Al Geiberger]], [[Tom Weiskopf]], [[Craig Stadler]], [[Curtis Strange]], [[Mark O'Meara]], [[Paul Azinger]], [[Davis Love III]], and [[Jordan Spieth]].  Five Champion's Choices have eventually won the Colonial; [[Dave Stockton]] is the only Champion's Choice to win the tournament in the year selected (1967).
