Tiger Woods makes his return to competition this week in the Bahamas at the Hero World Challenge. The elite, superstar 18-man field consists of 17 of the best players in the world and host Tiger Woods, who is ranked No. 861, yup 861, hard to believe, but true.
Dustin Johnson +500, Jordan Spieth +550 and Henrik Stenson +1050 highlight the star-studded field. The list goes on and on, Patrick Reed +1100, defending champion Bubba Watson +1250 and Olympic bronze medalist Matt Kuchar +1750 to name a few. The field has six of the top ten in the official world rankings. It’s loaded!
Others to keep your eye on include Bahamas resident Justin Rose +1500, Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama +750, fan favorite Rickie Fowler +1400 and PGA Champion Jimmy Walker +2100.

ODDS ANALYSIS
My pick this week is one of the favorites, Jordan Spieth +550. He won a few weeks ago in Australia and is the last time he did that, he had that epic year back in 2015. Spieth has a lot to prove this year both to himself and to his fans and will come up big this week in the Bahamas.
Emiliano Grillo +2300 is quietly becoming one of the best players in the world. The Argentine currently is ranked No. 26 in the world and is only getting better. He comes into this event under the radar, unnoticed with all the other top players getting all the attention and this will work to his advantage. Grillo is my SLEEPER pick this week and is a play in all formats. He offers gamers the best VALUE on the board!
SPECIAL Tiger Woods Golf Props at BookMaker Sportsbook:
Tiger Woods 18-hole score during 1ST ROUND of Hero World Challenge
OVER 72.5 -180
UNDER 72.5 +150
The Albany course is nothing more than a resort course. The par-72 layout is easy and the professionals will eat it up. Last year Bubba Watson was 25-under par when he romped to victory and last place finisher Hideki Matsuyama was 4-under. Woods, if he has any game at all, will shoot UNDER PAR the first day of the Hero World Challenge. Take the UNDER and enjoy the extra +150 juice your way.
Tiger Woods HIGHEST 18-hole score during the Hero World Challenge
OVER 74.5 -200
UNDER 74.5 +155
Again, the Albany venue is not hard and the only thing to protect it against low scores is the weather. The forecast for the Bahamas is good, mild winds and a chance of a few thunderstorms, so expect the winning score to be 20-under par or better and Woods will keep it par or better every round he plays. I like the UNDER 74.5 +155.
