2018 CareerBuilder Challenge tee times, viewer's guide

Harry How
The PGA Tour returns to the mainland this week for the CareerBuilder Challenge, the first of five stops on the West Coast Swing. The event takes place on three different courses, PGA West's Stadium and Nicklaus Tournament Courses and La Quinta Country Club, and features a 54-hole cut.
This year's field is strong, headlined by the 2018 debut of Phil Mickelson, who last played in October at the WGC-HSBC Champions, where he tied for 15th. Two weeks prior he was in contention at the Safeway Open, ultimately finishing T-3. Mickelson hopes to build on that fall performance starting this week as he continues his search for his first victory since the 2013 Open Championship.
Other marquee names in the field include Jon Rahm, Bubba Watson and 2014 CareerBuilder Challenge winner Patrick Reed. Defending champion Hudson Swafford can become the tournament's first back-to-back champion since Johnny Miller in 1975 and 1976 with a win this week.
