The 20-man field will make its way to Nassau, Bahamas this week for the Hero World Challenge. The star-studded field is getting a lot of buzz, but none are getting more camera lenses and media attention than the tournament host, Tiger Woods, who made his first appearance Tuesday since his car accident.
Past winners here include Henrik Stenson, Jon Rahm, Rickie Fowler, Hideki Matsuyama and Bubba Watson. The average winning score over the previous three years is just south of 19-under par, which makes sense when you get some of the best golfers in the world on a resort course.

Tony Finau to Win (+1600)
A missed cut at the Houston Open earlier this month has caused his number to slide, making him appealing to chase in a 20-man field. Finau has the game that suits Albany, finishing with a top-10 and runner-up in his two starts. As always, if he can get his putter going, then he becomes a worthwhile consideration at this number.
Justin Rose to Win (+2200)
I’ve been going back-and-forth with Rose or Patrick Reed (+2500), but I’ll stick with the Englishman who lived in the Bahamas for a long time before making his way back to England recently. His tournament history is impeccable, finishing top five in his last three starts. A 12th at the RSM Classic could be a leading indicator that Rose is turning things around, and knowing you only have to beat 19 other golfers instead of a full-field may be just enough motivation for a resurgent performance.
