Careerbuilder Challenge Tips

CareerBuilder Challenge in partnership with the Clinton Foundation - PGA West Stadium Course, La Quinta, CA

21 January 2016 - 24 January 2016

Tip date: 18 January 2016

We have a new name for the Humana Challenge this year. This is an unusual tournament in a couple of ways. It is played over three courses at (PGA West Palmer, PGA West Nicklaus and La Quinta). All are relatively short par 72s and they were all ranked in the top 10 easiest courses in 2012. However The Stadium Course has been added this year which is an altogether tougher . It also has a Pro-Am format which leads to slow play and can be a severe test of patience for certain types of players. Bill Haas win last year.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Ryan Palmer	2pt each way 40-1	Coral	Finishing position: T17 Back Ryan Palmer Again
We think three time tour winner Ryan Palmer is ripe for more success. He’s a quality player who has a first class record at PGA West. He’s managed 4-6-2-10 in his last five starts and looks a rock solid prospect this week. If he’s going to post win No. 4 anywhere this season it’s probably here.
Charley Hoffman	2pt each way 66-1	Coral	Finishing position: MC Back Charley Hoffman Again
Charley is the kind of player who prospers on the Tour’s easier set ups. PGA West is certainly one of those. We can see Charley having another good season and he rewarded us with a place win here in 2015. No doubt, he can win this week and the early price has to be snapped up.
Webb Simpson	2pt each way 50-1	Coral	Finishing position: T17 Back Webb Simpson Again
Webb is a talented player and major winner who seems to have taken the new putter rules in his stride. He had a good T13 last time out in the Sony and has a solid long term record at PGA West. He’s had T5 and T7 of late and looks a decent value bet this week.
