PGA events tend to follow a very similar pattern, so it’s always fun to see one that offers up something a little different. One such event is the CareerBuilder Challenge, which is held over 3 different courses. Each of the players taking part rotates between the La Quinta Country Club, the Nicklaus Stadium Course, and the Stadium Course, which will serve as host, and also be the course that the players who make the cut play on come Sunday afternoon. It’s a decent field of players that are making the trip to this event, and the field will include Phil Mickelson, a real temptation for the CareerBuilder Challenge betting action, who will be making his first appearance of the season.Let’s take a closer look at the top contenders for the PGA CareerBuilder Challenge and it’s latest golf odds, which tees off on Thursday, January 18.
He currently ranks #25 in the world, and while I don’t see him winning this one, he is certainly good enough to hang around on Sunday afternoon.
