Russell Henley capped off a dramatic Sunday at Colonial Country Club by rallying from behind to win the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge, earning his first victory of the season and the sixth PGA Tour title of his career.
The 37-year-old birdied each of his final three holes in regulation before knocking in another birdie on the first playoff hole to defeat Eric Cole, who was seeking his long-awaited first PGA Tour victory. Cole held the 54-hole lead and appeared poised to break through, but Henley’s late surge forced a playoff and ultimately secured the winner’s share of the tournament purse.
The victory also strengthens Henley’s position among the game’s elite, as the world No. 12 continued his impressive run of form with one of the most clutch finishes of the PGA Tour season.
