Think he likes playing with his buddies JT and Spieth so I bet he comes.Ricky would be nice - I thought when we gave him the Hogan, he would show up every year at least until he started winning majors.
Guess not...

And you base all this on what source?he plays more run of the mill tournaments than most multi-major winners and we are one of the few he has won he doesn't continue to play.
my understanding is the execs at Crowne Plaza got mad when he ran off Friday and didn't stay for the Saturday Pink Out that they did just for him and he was being demanding in the renegotiations as their spokesperson- so they ended his contract and gave it to Ricky Fowler. Then he got petty, blamed the course changes for his missed cut and stopped showing up.
He is the really the only previous champion that doesn't show up so far - although I doubt Adam Scott will show up much since he only played it the year he won to keep #1 in the world status and now that Sergio is back playing well, he may show up less although his significant other does push him to play Texas evidently.
You are kidding right ? You don’t think the main sponsor of the tournament has any pull on if the player they pay millions to be represent their product gets invited to play in an all Invitational tournament?And you base all this on what source?
Sponsor execs have little to nothing to do with player invites.
He was here in 2017.You are kidding right ? You don’t think the main sponsor of the tournament has any pull on if the player they pay millions to be represent their product gets invited to play in an all Invitational tournament?
If Charleen Schwab wanted his grandson to play he would get a Champions invite tomorrow
I had retired from the tournament committee by 2010 so mostly talk in the 19th hole - which doesn’t mean it’s all true but sure was a lot of talk if not - and he doesn’t come anymore so there is that. Plus he complained about the changes publicly.
Sponsor deals typically require the player to appear in tournaments they title sponsor every “X” number of years. They also usually require them to make “X” number of appearances for the sponsor each year, whether it’s for dinners or private golf events.And you base all this on what source?

For the first time since 2010 and might conceivably be the last time also given his age and where the tournament fallsHe was here in 2017.
Well their sponsorship ending definitely seems to have affected Fowler not comingCrowne Plaza sponsorship is probably 99% why Phil and Rickie played Colonial.
hopefully the spring break boys convince their missing buddies to show up - getting those guys will be important for the next 10 yearsAccording to the Charles' Schwab Challenge facebook page: Masters Tournament top-ten finishers Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, and Patrick Cantlay will all be competing at the Charles Schwab Challenge next month."
