Honoring our Military Heroes

Schwab is honored to celebrate the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge and pay tribute to our nation's heroes during the event which the company has done since 2019; including:

• A special experience for injured service members and veterans. During tournament week, Schwab will host a work experience event in partnership with the On Course Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping injured and disabled veterans build confidence and gain meaningful employment opportunities within the golf industry, as part of its sponsorship of the Simpson Cup. At Colonial, those participating will work onsite throughout the week and also participate in a golf skills clinic on Tuesday, May 26. Schwab has proudly supported the Simpson Cup, an annual golf tournament between teams of injured servicemen and veterans, and the On Course Foundation since 2022.
• A moment of silence and military flyover. Continuing a meaningful tradition, the tournament will pause play at 2:50pm on Sunday, May 31. During this time, players, caddies and fans will be invited to observe a moment of silence in remembrance of military personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving over our country's 250-year history. The tribute will conclude with a military flyover.
