Though no FedExCup points will be awarded this week, the 2022 Hero World Challenge still features a loaded field and a total purse of $3.5 million for the 20 participants teeing it up in the Bahamas. The event will be played for the 7th times at Albany Golf Course.
Below, we look at the 2022 Hero World Challenge odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
The limited-field event is hosted by Tiger Woods, who was supposed to be playing for the 1st time since the Open Championship in July but had to withdraw due to a foot injury. The 20-player field is led by favorite Jon Rahm, who is the No. 1 player in this week’s Golfweek/Sagarin rankings. Scottie Scheffler is No. 4 in the rankings, the next-highest player in the field after Rahm, and he has the 2nd-best odds to win this week.
Albany Golf Course is a par 72 playing at 7,414 yards, so length off the tee is' a factor. There are plenty of scoring opportunities with 5 par 5s on the card. Viktor Hovland won it last year at 18-under par, and he’ll be in the field trying to defend his title.
