The race for the Charles Schwab Cup takes on a new look beginning this week on the PGA Tour Champions.
Modeled after the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs, the over-50 circuit begins a three-event playoff race with this week's PowerShares QQQ Championship at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
Defending Schwab Cup champ Bernhard Langer headlines the event, as the German once again enters atop the standings. The 71-man field was determined based on the season-long money list following the SAS Championship, with earnings then converted to points (one point per dollar).
