Training Event For Veterans
Charles Schwab today announced that the company will again host
the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, the final event of the PGA
TOUR Champions season that culminates with the top 36 players
competing in a four-round tournament at Phoenix Country Club. In
addition to this year’s champion’s trophy and prize money, Schwab
will offer to waive the program fee for the company’s premiere
wealth management solution, Schwab Wealth Advisory™, for ten years
to the winner.1 The Charles Schwab Cup Championship takes place
November 9-13, 2022.
Established in 1990 and formerly known as the Senior Tour
Championship, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship is the final
event of the season on the PGA TOUR Champions, the leading golf
tour for male professionals 50 years and older. The tournament has
been held at Phoenix Country Club since 2017. Charles Schwab Cup
Championship also continues with its history of giving back to
local communities as the tournament helps generate over $500,000
for charities throughout the state of Arizona.
“We are deeply proud of our long-standing partnership with the
PGA TOUR Champions that honors many of the most experienced
professional golfers in the sport,” said Walt Bettinger,
Co-Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Charles
Schwab. Bettinger added, “As title sponsor of the tournament since
2003 and a major employer in Phoenix, it has been gratifying for
our company to be a part of what this event brings to the greater
Phoenix community through charitable fundraising, including our
support of injured veterans though our partnership with the On
Course Foundation.”
This year’s champion’s prize will include an offer through
Schwab Wealth Advisory (SWA), a comprehensive wealth management
solution unique in its support of clients who want to stay involved
in the management of their portfolios. This personalized experience
provides clients with a one-on-one relationship with an experienced
wealth advisor and specialists who deliver investment management,
financial planning, retirement planning, education planning, and

Schwab Expands On Course Foundation Partnership with Veterans
Golf Skills Event
As part of the tournament week, Schwab will host an event in
partnership with the On Course Foundation, an organization
dedicated to helping injured and disabled veterans build confidence
through the sport of golf. On Monday, November 7, at Phoenix
Country Club, ten selected U.S. military veterans will have the
opportunity to attend a golf clinic on the course’s driving range
to work directly with golf professionals and develop their skill
set while accommodating the injuries they endured while serving
their country. During the Charles Schwab Cup Championship
tournament, the veterans will also volunteer and support operations
of the tournament as part of the work experience aspect of the On
Course Foundation’s program. A film about the organization was
commissioned by Schwab early in 2022.
The global On Course Foundation helps wounded, injured and sick
military veterans use golf to facilitate their transitions back
into society. Vets are educated on the many facets of embarking on
a career in golf with full-time job placements at Callaway,
ClubCorp, Marriott Vacations, TaylorMade, Topgolf, and other golf
companies, golf courses, clubs and resorts. On Course Foundation’s
pinnacle event is the annual Simpson Cup that pits 13-person teams
from the U.S. and U.K. against one another in Ryder Cup-style
matches with many competitors amazingly sporting low single-digit
handicaps.
