This will be the 75th edition of the PGA Tour tournament having been founded in 1946 and it honors the history of golf by using an official Scottish tartan plaid jacket for its champions and top committee chairmen.
 
The tournament was originally known as the Colonial National Invitation and it is titled for sponsorship reasons as the Charles Schwab Challenge since 2019.

Charles Schwab Challenge Tournament Director Michael Tothe says they are looking to combine the past and the present for something spectacular in this year's tournament.
 
“We were the first event back on the PGA Tour in June. Now we’re back to our traditional Memorial Day weekend spot. It’s good," Tothe said. 
 
“One of the things we’re working on with the tour is to talk about a memory of a moment something special that happened.”
 
Ben Hogan is the most decorated player in the history of the Charles Schwab Classic having won five titles in 1946, 1947, 1952, 1953 and 1959.
