Charles Schwab Unveils One-of-a-Kind Champion’s Prize in First Year of Tournament Sponsorship

Charles Schwab has been challenging the status quo in the financial
services industry on behalf of investors since 1973. Now, as the title
sponsor of the Charles Schwab Challenge — a PGA TOUR event that has
challenged the world’s top shot-makers for 73 years — the company is
celebrating that “challenger spirit” by unveiling a one-of-a-kind prize
for the champion of this year’s event: a restored 1973 Dodge^®
Challenger.

The car — a restomod “Schwab Challenger” that mixes a vintage body with
modern comfort, performance and reliability — is covered in custom
Glacier Blue paint, with one-off Schwab badging. It also features
touches of Colonial’s trademark Scottish royal tartan on the seats,
serving as a tribute to the awarding of a tartan plaid jacket to the
event’s champions and top committee chairs.

This unique champion’s prize will be displayed at this year’s Charles
Schwab Challenge from May 23-26 at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth,
Texas.

This tournament, which has represented the city of Fort Worth and the
Metroplex with distinction for years, celebrates challengers and great
competition. “As a brand that was founded on challenging the status quo
for investors, we wanted to honor the spirit of the tournament with a
one-of-a-kind award that represents the ‘challenger’ spirit of both the
champion and our company,” said Andy Gill, executive vice president and
Chief Marketing Officer at Charles Schwab. “With this incredible prize
and all of the other fan-friendly events and improvements we have
planned, we look forward to bringing this challenger spirit to life.”

Charles Schwab & Co., a major sponsor on the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR
Champions, announced last year it would expand its golf presence and its
strong commitment to the North Texas community by assuming title
sponsorship of the PGA TOUR’s Fort Worth Invitational at Colonial
Country Club.

The four-year agreement, which starts this year, runs through 2022.
