⛳ Charles Schwab Challenge — Colonial CC, Fort Worth TX (May 28-31)

Colonial Country Club is one of the PGA Tour’s most demanding tests. Tight, tree-lined fairways reward precision over power, and the small, firm greens put approach play front and centre. Our analysis points to players with elite iron games and solid putting — and we’ve landed on five plays this week.

**⭐ Pick of the Day: Ludvig Åberg — 8/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**

*1pt each way + 1pt win*

Åberg is the standout of the week. His approach play is elite, his composure under pressure has been evident all season, and Colonial suits his game profile perfectly. The extra win stake reflects how strongly the model rates him. At 8/1 with 6 places available, this is the anchor of the card.

**Justin Thomas — 18/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**

*1pt each way*

JT is a former winner at Colonial and knows this course inside out. Experience around tight, demanding tracks counts here, and his iron play remains one of the best on tour. 18/1 looks fair for a player with this level of pedigree at this venue.

**J.J. Spaun — 28/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**

*1pt each way*

Spaun is one of the more underrated ball-strikers on tour and has been consistent this season. The model has him well-positioned at this course profile, and 28/1 represents good each-way value with 6 places on offer.

**Russell Henley — 33/1 each way, First Round Leader (6 places, 1/5 odds)**

*1pt each way — FRL market*

The First Round Leader play of the week. Henley is a steady, accurate ball-striker who starts tournaments well. The FRL market often delivers more value than the outright, and 33/1 in this field is generous.

**🎲 Dark Horse Alert: Max Greyserman — 33/1 each way (10 places, 1/5 odds)**

*1pt each way*

Greyserman is this week’s big-price play. Strong approach stats — the most important metric at Colonial — and a game that suits tight, technical courses. 10 places at 33/1 is exceptional each-way coverage. The model has him around 13.5% chance of a top-10 finish. At those odds, this is the value play of the week.

**⚡ Glory Double: Russell Henley FRL + Russell Henley Outright — 389/1 (Spreadex / SportingIndex)**

*0.25pt each way*

A small interest in the Henley double — FRL combined with him going all the way. At 389/1 this is pure upside. Available as a combination at Spreadex and SportingIndex.

🏔️ Austrian Alpine Open — Kitzbühel (May 28-31) — BONUS DP WORLD TOUR PICKS

This week’s DP World Tour event takes place in the stunning Austrian Alps. Two plays from a competitive field.

**Casey Jarvis — 18/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**

*1pt each way*

The South African youngster has a sharp iron game that suits this course profile. His approach stats are among the best in the DP World Tour field and 6 places at 18/1 gives strong each-way coverage. A player whose best golf is very much still ahead of him.

**🎲 Dark Horse Alert: Marcel Siem — 125/1 each way (10 places, 1/5 odds)**

*0.5pt each way*

The big-price play of the week. An experienced German campaigner competing on home turf in the Alps — local knowledge and course feel can count for a lot in events like this. 10 places at 125/1 is a huge each-way bet at a tiny stake. The upside is enormous for a half-point investment.

🏌️‍♀️ ShopRite LPGA Classic — Seaview, New Jersey (May 29-31) — BONUS LPGA PICKS

A 54-hole event on the Bay Course at Seaview — a flat, links-influenced layout that rewards consistency and accuracy. Two picks from the women’s game this week.

**Charley Hull — 12/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**

*1pt each way*

World No. 7 and the highest-ranked player in the field this week. Hull is a fan favourite and a genuine contender wherever she tees it up. Consistent, composed and perfectly capable of dominating a 54-hole event. Top of the market for a reason — and 12/1 looks fair for a player of her quality in this field.

**🎲 Dark Horse Alert: Robyn Choi — 60/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**

*1pt each way*

The Australian has been quietly posting consistent top-20 finishes on tour. 6 places at 60/1 is where the value is — her place odds at 1/5 work out at 12/1, which looks generous for a player with her level of consistency. One of the better each-way prices on the board this week.

Coming This Week — Charles Schwab Picks Tomorrow, Weekend Racing Preview (Tuesday May 26, 2026)

Featured

Two things to look forward to this week.

Tomorrow we publish our Charles Schwab Challenge selections for Colonial Country Club (May 28-31). Tee times and weather conditions will be confirmed overnight and the analysis will be running in the morning. Colonial rewards precision over power — a very different test to last week’s CJ Cup, and a course profile our analysis tends to enjoy.

On the horse racing front, Saturday brings Class 2 action at both Chester and Beverley. Chester’s unique tight circuit and Beverley’s stiff track both throw up excellent each way opportunities. Selections will follow later in the week.

CJ Cup Analysis Delivers — Charles Schwab Challenge Preview

Featured

A positive week on the golf front, and one that demonstrated exactly what the Twister Tipster AI analysis is built to do.

CJ Cup Byron Nelson — Results

Si Woo Kim led the tournament from the front for most of the week. Our outright selection shot a stunning 60 in Round 2 to build a commanding lead, only to be pipped on the final day by a charging Wyndham Clark. Frustrating — but the each way place paid, and that’s +1.8pts on the outright.

Keith Mitchell’s First Round Leader each way selection landed beautifully — T4 after Round 18 with dead heat terms applying, but the place paid and returned +2.29pts.

The glory double — Mitchell FRL place combined with Kim outright place — also landed, returning nearly 6x the outlay from a small stake.

Jordan Spieth didn’t fire as hoped, but overall the CJ Cup was our best golf tournament of the season:

CJ Cup Byron Nelson — Final P/L: +4.55pts


Charles Schwab Challenge — Preview

The PGA Tour moves to Colonial Country Club, Fort Worth, Texas for the Charles Schwab Challenge (May 28-31). This is one of the most prestigious non-major events on the calendar — a course that rewards precision and accuracy above raw power, with tight fairways and demanding par 70 layout that punishes wayward drivers.

A strong field has assembled, with Ludvig Aberg, Robert MacIntyre, Hideki Matsuyama and Justin Thomas among the headline names. Brooks Koepka has withdrawn. And notably — Keith Mitchell is back in the field fresh off his CJ Cup showing.

Our full selections for the Charles Schwab Challenge will be published on Wednesday once tee times and weather conditions are confirmed. That’s when the data delivers the clearest edge — as last week’s analysis proved.
