The Challenger prize was also a first for the tournament and was designed to celebrate the year Schwab was founded, the challenging nature of the course at Colonial and the challenging spirit of the event and its players.
1946 Schwab Power Wagon
In 2021, tournament organizers gave away a customized 1946 Schwab Power Wagon. It was a custom build by Legacy Classic Trucks and showed off its some striking features, like Schwab-branded brightwork and a Colonial-inspired interior. The Power Wagon is a complete “resto-mod,” meaning it looks like an old truck and drives like a new one. A vehicle from 1946 was chosen to commemorate the 75th year of the tournament.

Jason Kokrak earned the keys to this rig after tracking down Jordan Spieth in the final round.
1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
In 2022, Sam Burns earned his third victory of the season and in the process ousted good buddy Scottie Scheffler after dropping an incredible, winding 38-foot putt from off the green on the first playoff hole.
Burns earned $1,512,000 for the win but also the keys to a fully restored and modernized 1979 Firebird Trans Am with the word Schwab inscribed in multiple places, including throughout the interior.
1973 Schwab Bronco
In 2023, tournament organizers offered up a fully restored and modernized 1973 Schwab Bronco. The outfit that handled the restoration is Classic Ford Broncos of Powell, Ohio. While the engine was completely overhauled, the interior was finished to match the jacket given to winners at the event. Emiliano Grillo was the lucky winner of this prize.
1975 Schwab Corvette Stingray
In 2024, the trend continues as the winning wheels are again in the signature light blue color. This year's winner will drive off in a 1975 Corvette Stingray along with the $1.638 million first-place check.
First-round leader Charley Hoffman said the Stingray has provided him with some extra motivation this week.
"My dad had one of those when I was a kid, and then when my brother turned, I think 16, he got rid of it," he said after his round Thursday. "Actually, I know, for insurance reasons probably, insurance probably doubled when he turned 16, he had a sports car. So the motivation is -- he doesn't know this -- he might, he'll probably know it now, but is to win that car for him, there's no question."
