Jordan Spieth will be keen to win his second Charles Schwab Challenge title when he competes at Colonial Country Club.  
 
The American star is currently ranked 28th in the Official World Golf Rankings and he is also a former world number one. 
 
Spieth won the Charles Schwab Challenge in 2016 and the competition was still known as the Dean & DeLuca Invitational.

The Texas-born star birdied six holes on the back nine to see off the challenge of Harris English by three strokes and he won the title. 
 
Spieth's first major win came in the 2015 Masters Tournament, when he shot a 270 (−18) and he tied the 72-hole record set by Tiger Woods in 1997.

The highly-rated golfer then won the 2015 U.S Open with a score of 5-under-par, before he lifted his third major at the 2017 Open Championship, by three shots at 12 under par.
 
Spieth's last win in the PGA Tour came at the 2021 Valero Texas Open and it was the 27-year-old's 12th PGA Tour victory.

The win at the Valero Texas Open ended his four-year dry spell and Spieth explained that the trophyless spell was caused by a lack of confidence. 
 
"It's been a long road. There were a lot of times I wasn't sure If I'd be here with you (interview in winner circle), talking to you about this right now," Spieth said. 
 
"I never really doubted myself to be able to kind of get back to where I wanted to go but when you lose confidence a lot of times it's hard to see the positives of going forward and (I) just kept my head down." 
 
"I owe a lot of people thanks, I can't wait to tell them. It's a team, and it's a team effort and I've been blessed to work with the best in the world in everything they do. This is a monumental win for me, it's one that I certainly thought about for a long time."
