Desert Classic Odds, TV Schedule, Tee Times: Rose Makes First Start as World No. 1

The PGA Tour starts the West coast swing now after leaving Hawaii, where Xander Schauffele and Matt Kuchar collected their first wins of the 2019 season.

This week the Tour heads to Palm Springs where they will play over a three-course rotation at PGA West’s Stadium Course, the Nicklaus Tournament Course, and La Quinta Country Club in the Desert Classic (formerly known as the CareerBuilder Challenge). Justin Rose is making his first start as the number one ranked player in the world. Rose is coming off of a pretty amazing 2018 season in which he won twice on the PGA Tour, finished second three times, third once and had 11 top 10 finishes overall. He also claimed the FedExCup title after finishing second to Tiger Woods at the Tour Championship.

Also playing for the first time this season year is Phil Mickelson, who has won this event twice, with his last coming in 2004.

Jon Rahm, who is the defending champ and hasn’t won since, is also in the field. Rahm won the Hero World Challenge (not an official PGA Tour event) in December and finished T8 at the Tournament of Champions earlier this month.

Odds

Other notable odds: Kevin Kisner 40/1, Phil Mickelson 40/1, Zach Johnson 40/1
