Charles Schwab is honored to congratulate Daniel Berger on his
victory at the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge. With his win, Berger
captured the iconic Leonard Trophy and will have his name etched in
stone on the Wall of Champions at Colonial Country Club. The
victory, and the tournament, marked the PGA TOUR’s successful
return to competition after a three month pause and a poignant next
chapter for the storied event in Fort Worth.
In light of the unprecedented times in which the 2020 Charles
Schwab Challenge was played, Schwab refocused its efforts as title
sponsor to help extend the tournament’s impact in the community and
reinforce the firm’s unwavering commitment to its fans, the
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and all those affected by the
coronavirus pandemic. “Rise to the Challenge,” the new charitable
platform launched by Schwab on June 8, was developed to support the
PGA TOUR’s COVID-19 Relief Fund and the 33 local organizations that
the tournament’s Birdies for Charity program helps benefit.
“Though the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge understandably
operated differently than originally planned, it was a true
privilege to serve as its title sponsor – this year more than
ever,” said Jonathan Craig, senior executive vice president,
Investor Services & Marketing at Charles Schwab. “We were
honored to help continue golf’s great tradition at Colonial and
support this important milestone for the game and for the country.
We are also proud of developing a new charitable program with ‘Rise
to the Challenge’ to connect fans with the tournament, while also
helping raise funds for local and national charities.”
Fans and supporters entered the Rise to the Challenge raffle
with the hopes of bringing home one of a range of prizes including
autographed memorabilia from some of the game’s biggest stars along
with unique once-in-a-lifetime golf experiences – more than 350
prizes were donated for the fundraiser.
Charles Schwab & Co. signed on as title sponsor of the PGA
TOUR’s Fort Worth Invitational at Colonial Country Club in 2018.
Already a major sponsor of the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions, the
firm’s four-year agreement marked its first-ever title sponsorship
of a PGA TOUR event. Schwab continues to grow rapidly in the
Metroplex where its new 70-acre campus in Westlake will eventually
become home to the firm’s corporate headquarters.
