Davis Riley enters Colonial Country Club with last year’s reward vehicle as a defending champion at the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge

Davis Riley arrived at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, as the defending champion of the Charles Schwab Challenge, which runs from May 22, 2025, to May 25, 2025. The 28-year-old returned in the same car he won last year—a restored 1975 Corvette Stingray.

Riley claimed his first individual PGA Tour title at the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge with a five-stroke win over Scottie Scheffler and Keegan Bradley. He closed with an even-par 70 to finish 14 under for the tournament. This year, he enters the event after finishing runner-up at the 2025 PGA Championship, five shots behind winner Scottie Scheffler.

Davis Riley pulled into Colonial in his 1975 Corvette, and the PGA Tour posted a photo and video of his arrival on Instagram with the caption:

"The defending champ arrives in style ... a 1975 Schwab Stingray!"

“It’s really cool to walk up and drive up and see your own parking spot there, past champion, see your face around a little bit more. It just brings me back to this time last year. Really cool memories. … It’s pretty surreal. I’m itching to get started this week,” Davis Riley said.

“That’s one of the unique parts about this tournament. We get the car that comes with it. Yeah, it’s been a great thing for me and my wife. We love taking it out, getting coffee, getting lunch. It’s been a super fun thing to have,” Riley said about the car that comes with winning the event.

This year’s champion will receive a Chevy-powered Defender, equipped with L.L. Bean fly rods and custom mounts.

Riley has played 15 events so far this season, making the cut in 10 and earning three top-10 finishes. He is currently ranked No. 53 in the Official World Golf Ranking. His best major finish is a tie for 13th at the 2022 PGA Championship.
