It might be Tiger Woods’ tournament, but Scottie Scheffler basically owns the Hero World Challenge. Scheffler, the World No. 1, is back in the Bahamas again this week and returns as the massive betting favorite.
Scheffler is +140 to win this week, according to Fanatics Sportsbook. While those odds may seem ridiculous, it’s partly due to Scheffler’s form, tournament history and the field. A handful of big names are in the Hero World Challenge but the field is still just 20 players, and one who is typically Scheffler’s biggest competition, Rory McIlroy, is playing the Australian Open this week.
Not only has Scheffler won the Hero World Challenge the last two years, but he was the runner-up (both times to Viktor Hovland) the two years prior. That means in his last four appearances he’s won twice and finished as the runner-up twice.
Now those odds make sense.
Robert MacIntyre has the second-best odds to win at +1100, closely followed by Cameron Young (+1100). Keegan Bradley, fresh off his appearance in The Skins Game on Friday, is +1600 to win.
While Woods isn’t in the field this year as he recovers from his latest back surgery, he will be on-site and has a press conference scheduled for 9 a.m. ET on Tuesday.
The Hero World Challenge, an unofficial PGA Tour event, will be broadcast live on Golf Channel from 1:30-4:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, with Golf Channel and NBC sharing the weekend broadcast.
