Cink and Johnson Head 36-Man Field for Charles Schwab Cup Championship

The field for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship is set, with 36 players qualifying for the PGA Tour Champions season finale at Phoenix Country Club from November 12-15. Stewart Cink and Zach Johnson head into the finale at the top of the points list and start as the favourites, with two prizes on offer in Phoenix: the tournament winner and the season-long points champion. The final spots were decided in dramatic fashion at the Simmons Bank Championship, where Darren Fichardt eagled the last hole to jump from 46th to 17th in the points standings and play his way into the field. Mario Tiziani was the first man out, finishing 37th, while Henrik Stenson, returning from his stint with LIV Golf, ended 40th and Michael Block's season came to an end in 42nd place. One notable absence will be felt more than most. Bernhard Langer will miss the Charles Schwab Cup Championship for the first time since 2007, ending a remarkable run of consistency at the season finale. The 36-man field mixes major champions, former Ryder Cup players and late-season chargers, and with the points reset in effect, the finale promises a genuine shootout. Cink and Johnson have led all year, but Phoenix has a habit of producing a different kind of winner when the season is on the line.
