A guide to the history of the course at the Charles Schwab Challenge event

The Charles Schwab Challenge is the PGA Tour's longest-running non-Major event, still hosted at its original venue since 1946. Today's competitors understand that they are playing on the same greens as Ben Hogan, who won the title five times. His image pervades the event, and it is one of the traditions that contribute to the Charles Schwab Challenge's status as one of the most renowned PGA Tour events.
