Oddsmakers are not sold though, as Tiger is listed as the longest shot in the field for the Hero World Challenge at odds of +4546.... 

Tiger Woods will return to competitive golf later this month in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Do you remember the last time Tiger played competitive golf? It was at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic back in February and it was ugly for Tiger, as withdrew after shooting an opening round 77. The last PGA Tour event he played was the Farmers Insurance Open in January and he missed the cut. The question for bettors is if they think Tiger has regained some of his previous form or if they think he is completely through. Let’s look at the Tiger Woods props including those for the Hero World Challenge and a couple of picks....
