The PGA Tour has moved on from Hawaii and will start the West Coast Swing this week near Palm Springs, California at the CareerBuilder Challenge. Typically, the Tour can expect mild weather and clear skies at the CareerBuilder but this week will be anything but. Southern California will be experiencing a multi day storm which should arrive tomorrow. Conditions should be wet. Californians all know we could use the rain but typically golf tournaments and rain don't mix well. The CareerBuilder is also a Pro-Am which results in longer rounds by its very nature. Once you add some rain into the mix, rounds could last a while.
The CareerBuilder will be held across three Palm Desert courses but ShotLink data will only be available from the PGA West Stadium Course so following Michael on the La Quinta and Niclaus Tournament courses will be an exercise in patience.
Barring any weather delays, Michael gets his first round started on Thursday from the tenth hole at the La Quinta course at 9:30am PT. He will be in a foursome with Scott Brown and two amateurs. Hopefully any delays will be kept to a minimum.
