This week's tournament is in sunny California!

CareerBuilder Challenge

Stadium Course at PGA West - La Quinta, CA

Jan. 18-21

As the PGA Tour waves goodbye to Hawaii it makes the short trek across the Pacific to sunny California for the CareerBuilder Challenge where defending champion Hudson Swafford will again be in the player field for this year's tournament. Other expert picks in the field for this week's tournament include Webb Simpson, Brian Harman, John Rahm, Phil Mickelson and Jason Dufner.

This par-72 course was designed by Pete Dye and runs a total of 7,113 yards. The difficult 17th par 3 "Alcatraz Hole" only stretches 165 yards but gained fame with an amazing ace by the great Lee Trevino during the 1987 Skins game.

Notice the skin price way back then?....$5.9M total purse for this year's tournament!

The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy to sunny with lows of 40F and highs around 75F for the tournament with winds from 5 to 12mph expected.
