What to Look For: 2018 CareerBuilder Challenge

The Tour returns to Palm Springs for the 58th CareerBuilder Challenge (formerly referred to as the Bob Hope Classic). This has been a long term Pro-Am occasion. For years it performed 2nd fiddle to the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but it used to now not be that a ways at the back of given Mr. Hope?S reputation and Palm Springs being an awful lot closer to Hollywood and with usually better weather than what Pebble Beach could have the following couple of weeks in Northern California.

This might be one of the maximum difficult events to undertaking winners because it?S a birdie-fest and it often comes right down to a wide style of gamers that simply happen to hit their irons properly and putt well that week. It?S an exceptionally low scoring occasion as the courses are fairly wide open with little fairway and the ball travels in addition within the high elevation. But more significantly to the low scoring is the extraordinarily receptive and flat greens. This event usually posts the closest area common proximity to the cup on Red and Yellow Zone shots in addition to quick recreation shots around the inexperienced. That manner greater birdie opportunities and greater chip ins.

Projected Winning Score: -23
