Tell me if you’ve heard this before, “Tiger Wood is back.” Most golf fans would love to see Tiger become a competitive player on tour once again, but we’ve seen this storyline before and you must be skeptical at this point. I, for one, cannot wait to see what this guy tee it up and I hope it goes well because the game is better when he's out on the course.
This is just an 18-man field with most of the top players in the world like Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and more participating. You will be using one-third of the total field in your Draft Kings lineup and nearly half the field in your Fanduel lineup. This is a week when I tell you to avoid cash games and just play GPPs. If you want to win a GPP, you’ll need all your players to finish in the top 10 and at least three of them in the top five. I am just going to provide you with two optimal GPP lineups for both sites.
This will be the third time that Albany has hosted the Hero World Challenge and it stretches out 7,309 yards with a set of five par 5s and par 3s, so both nines play to a par of 36. The course is located on the western edge of New Providence Island (on which Nassau is located), but there's nowhere to hide from the sea breezes which is its main form of defense from these pros. You could see gusts of wind touch 30 mph and the temperatures will hover 80 degrees. Rain can never be ruled out, but when it falls, it's usually nothing more than a passing shower.
Take a shot this weekend but don't go crazy with an event like this one. We've got a brand new season starting up in a little over a month.
