There is a chance some finance bros stumbled upon this article and think it's about the stock market.

However, we are here to talk golf as the PGA Tour heads to Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth for the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Colonial has been a regular stop on Tour since 1946 and golf bettors have a lot of familiarity with the course.

Jordan Spieth, Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa headline the field as the only players ranked inside the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
