The Hero World Challenge returned with arguably its strongest field yet. DP World Tour Championship and Race to Dubai champion Collin Morikawa enters as the betting favorite, followed closely by Rory McIlroy, who is making his first start in Albany.
Tiger Woods, who we’ve only seen here and there since his car accident back in February, was on-site this week and held his first press conference on Tuesday.
Other big names in the field include Jordan Spieth, who’s teeing it up for the first time since becoming a father, Tony Finau, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, and Brooks Koepka.
By Sunday, it was Viktor Hovland posing with the trophy. He made consecutive eagles on the back nine and overcame a six-shot deficit at the start of the round to wind up winning by one shot in the 20-man field where 17 of the players were ranked in the top 25.
Here are some of the best photos from the Bahamas. And here are more photos of Tiger Woods’ practice session on the range.
