CareerBuilder Challenge Golf Tournament - January 2017

The CareerBuilder Challenge is a 72-hole PGA TOUR event that every January, features 156 of the world’s best golfers playing for a $5.8 million purse. It is part of the FedExCup Playoffs and often provides the winners of the event a precursor to a successful season. The tournament continues to honor the memory of Bob Hope, who became the tournament host in 1965 and served as a constant presence until his passing in 2003 at age 100. Every year, the winner is presented with the Bob Hope Trophy and fans assemble annually in Bob Hope Square to check out the latest Valley restaurants, sample items from area retailers and watch the tournament’s action on the theater-sized big-screen TV.
