PHOENIX – For only the third time in the history of the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, which began in 2001, the championship was decided before the final race of the year.
Steve Stricker dominated his over-50 peers in 2023 by winning six times including three senior majors. He is close to the $4 million mark for earnings this season. Even if he finishes last at Phoenix Country Club he would earn enough to be the first Champions Tour player to achieve that milestone in one season.
Stricker’s lead over the No. Stricker had a huge lead over the No. Stricker was so far ahead of anyone who had a chance to catch him that they were unable to do so. He won the season without ever playing.
The event that he missed last year, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in 2023, will be his first appearance. He will lift the Schwab Cup for the first ever time on Sunday, no matter where he finishes in the leaderboard.
