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.
