Tiger Woods will tee it up again this week at the 2018 Hero World Challenge, which he hosts. Woods finished T9 last year in his first competitive event in nearly a year, which laid the foundation for a pretty spectacular 2018.

Woods will be joined by Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and several other top 25 golfers in an elite field this week at Albany in the Bahamas. The course at Albany is super wide with little trouble to get into so scores should dip into the high teens under par (the three winning scores on this course are 25 under, 18 under and 18 under).

A year ago today, all eyes were on Tiger Woods and his surgically fused back. Woods, then ranked outside the top 1000, was making his first start since major back surgery and a year-long absence. Questions abound about his health and the state of his game. Given his recent injury history, most were understandably skeptical of the notion that Woods would return to world-class form.

A year later, Woods returns as the world’s No. 13 player, with reinvigorated and not-unfounded hopes of winning another major championship. What a difference 365 days makes.

It was at last year’s Hero Challenge—a tournament Tiger hosts, and one that benefits his foundation—where Woods laid the foundation for his comeback with a solid performance, finishing T-9 in the limited field of 18 players. Woods is back in action at this week’s Hero, where he’s making his first appearance since losing $9 million to Phil Mickelson and playing his first stroke-play event since winning the Tour Championship. He’s one of a number of big-name players teeing it up at Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas.

he Hero Challenge does not count as an official PGA Tour event—a victory doesn’t get you into the Masters, it doesn’t count for the money list nor a player’s career win total—but it does, controversially, offer world ranking points. Last year, Woods’ T9 propelled him from outside the top 1000 to 668th. The winner this week will receive 48 world ranking points, the same number Marc Leishman received for winning the full-field CIMB Classic earlier this year.

The Ernie Els-designed course is part of a five-star resort in the New Providence area of the Bahamas. Woods and Els, as well as Justin Timberlake, were involved in the resort’s founding and all own part of it. Similar to the resort courses the Tour frequents in Hawaii, Albany is a relatively open track with wide fairways, big greens, little rough and lots of bunkers. It’s a visually stunning course, as most fairways are lined with either pearly-white sand or a water hazard. As with many courses close to the ocean, wind will be the chief defense. It should be a birdie fest, and the winner will be someone whose putter stays hot all week.
