Golf fans, mark your calendars and maybe adjust your commute—Fort Worth is about to swing into action with the oldest PGA Tour tournament held at the same venue, and road work to boost. Slated for May 20-26, the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge is set to bring the top dogs of golf to Colonial Country Club to duke it out for the tartan jacket over Memorial Day weekend. Practice rounds kick off on May 20, followed by the Pro-Am on May 22, and the main event runs from May 23 through 26, according to the City of Fort Worth.
While the pros are chasing pars, city workers will be playing their course on South University Drive. The street is under construction to up its safety and aesthetics, with additions like a median and improved pedestrian spaces—a project expected to wrap up mid-June. Drivers can expect milled pavements on May 12-14 and fresh asphalt laid down on May 15-19. Despite the dust-up, all lanes will stay open come tournament time.
If you're living near the Colonial's greens and fairways, heads up: your trash pickup schedule will take a mulligan. A select few streets around the club are set to shift their garbage collection day during the week of the tourney, with bulk pickup dates also getting a shuffle. Fort Worth has planned, to deliver hand-delivered notices to hampered households the week prior. For those seeking more info or wanting to talk trash schedules, dial the City Contact Center at 817-392-1234, or just 311 if you're calling from within city limits.
