With all of that in mind who should we be keeping an extra eye on this week? Let’s break it down.
2018 Career Builder Challenge Favorites:
Jon Rahm +900
Jon Rahm comes into this tournament as the favorite to come out on top. He is making just his second start of the new year.
Last weekend he played in the Sentry Tournament of champions and he had a lot of success. He shot -16 with a low round of 66 which was good enough for second place.

Last year at the Career Builder Challenge he had a decent showing finishing tied for 34th. He had a poor Sunday which really hurt his final place.
Brian Harman +1400
Brian Harman comes into this with the second best odds to come out on top. That shouldn’t’ be a surprise because he comes into this tournament really hot.
In his last six starts his worst finish is eight, even though he hasn’t won any of the tournaments.
Last weekend at the Sony Open he finished tied for 4th, and if he could have shot better than a 70 on Sunday he might have won the whole thing.
2018 Career Builder Challenge Contenders:
Patton Kizzire +2800
Patton Kizzire is one of those guys who comes into this tournament having a lot of success.
Over his last six starts he has two wins, and although this is a bigger field, he has to have the confidence that he can compete with these guys.
Bill Haas +5000
One of the guys in this field that really seems to enjoy this course is Bill Haas, who has had all kinds of success here.
[dfads params=’groups=247&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
In his last 11 starts he here he has made ten cuts, and finished on top in two of his starts. If he can get off to a solid start, he should be there on Sunday with a chance to win.
2018 Sony Open In Hawaii Sleeper (+6000 or higher):
David Lingmerth +6600
David Lingmerth is a guy who knows about being in this tournament late. In two of the last five tournaments here he has lost in a playoff.
If he can just figure out a way to close it out, he is a good long shot.
2018 Career Builder Challenge Picks:
The guy I do really like is – Brian Harman +1400 to have a nice tournament and end up on top on Sunday Afternoon.
He comes into this tournament hot, and I would expect to see him leave the tournament feeling the same way.
