Our First PGA Tour Experience: The Charles Schwab Challenge
We were excited to share our experience attending our very first PGA Tour event, the Charles Schwab Challenge at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth. Here's a detailed account of our unforgettable day:
Arrival and Early Morning
Getting off the bus at the course, we knew it was going to be a hot day. To beat the heat, we followed the tree coverage throughout the morning. Our adventure began by tracking Jordan Spieth for several holes. Seeing him play up close was amazing and gave us a real appreciation for his skill and precision.
What We Wore
I wore a collared tank top and a flowy skirt, which kept me cool and comfortable. E wore golf shorts, a polo, and a hat—perfect attire for the day.
Following the Pros
After Jordan’s morning round, we followed Collin Morikawa for a few holes. Watching these pros in action was incredible. Their techniques and strategies were fascinating to observe, and it really highlighted the level of talent present in the PGA Tour.
Shopping at the Pro Shop
We made a pit stop at the pro shop to load up on gear, grabbing hats, shirts, and other souvenirs to remember the day. The pro shop had a great selection of merchandise, making it easy to find something special to commemorate our visit. It also included free beer tastings, and you could even practice with clubs in their simulators, adding a fun interactive element to the shopping experience.
Afternoon with Scottie Scheffler
The afternoon was dedicated to watching Scottie Scheffler. Along our trail, E started a conversation with another couple who were also following Scottie and…
Exclusive Access
THEY GAVE US WRISTBANDS! These wristbands granted us access to one of the most exclusive decks on the course. From there, we enjoyed some of the best views, food, and drinks available. It was the perfect spot to watch the final golfers tee off toward the end of the event, including Scottie on the 17th hole!
The End of the Day
By the end of the day, we were a little tipsy, I was sunburned, but it was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere, the people, and the sheer excitement of being at a PGA Tour event made it a day to remember. This was just the first of many PGA events for us, and we can’t wait for the next one!
