What are odds that Tiger Woods wins Hero World Challenge? What about a top-5?

Tiger Woods makes his competitive return at this week’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

Woods hasn’t played since withdrawing during his third round of the Masters back in April and a subsequent right-ankle surgery.

Since a February 2021 car accident, Woods has played just five world-ranked events, with a best finish of T-45 at this year’s Genesis Invitational. Woods hasn’t played the Hero since 2019, when he finished fourth. In four career Hero starts at Albany, Woods has two top-10s and two finishes of 15th or worse.

Here is a snapshot of several sportsbooks’ odds to win for Woods, his closest competitor and the unanimous favorite, two-time defending champ Viktor Hovland:
