The PGA Tour Champions is down to its season finale. Coming off the heels of the 2025 Simmons Bank Championship, the second of three playoff events, there are now just 36 golfers left standing.
The season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship puts a capper on the year. Here’s a look at the field who will be heading to Phoenix Country Club in three weeks.
What is the Charles Schwab Cup?
The Schwab Cup is the season-long points race on the PGA Tour Champions. At the conclusion of the regular season, the top 72 golfers advanced to the postseason. After the first playoff event, the top 54 advanced to the second round. Now, only the top 36 in the points move on to Phoenix.
What is the Charles Schwab Cup Championship?
The final tournament of the year on the PGA Tour Champions is called the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Unlike the PGA Tour’s Tour Championship, where the winner is also declared the FedEx Cup Champion, the senior circuit often produces one winner of the final tournament of the year and a different golfer claiming the season-long title. In short, expect to see two guys holding up trophies and celebrating on Sunday, Nov. 13 in Phoenix.
Who won the Schwab trophies in 2024?
Steven Alker claimed the season-long points title for the second time in three years in 2024, while Bernhard Langer, who has seven points titles, won the tournament title for his circuit-leading 47th time. It also extended his streak of winning at least once on tour since 2007.

What happened to PGA Tour Champions Q School?
PGA Tour Champions Q-School was officially discontinued about a month ago. A note that was sent to players on Sept. 22, confirmed that the Tour’s board had signed off on the change to its regulations, removing one more avenue for 50-and-over dreamers to play their way on to the senior circuit.
