The 2021 golf season is wrapping up, but before we can put a bow on it, there is one more marquee event left to be played: the Hero World Challenge. And while Tiger Woods’ tournament in the Bahamas is technically an unofficial event on the PGA Tour calendar, the field is still stocked with talent.
After another impressive campaign in 2021 — including his second major title — Collin Morikawa is the betting favorite this week at Albany Golf Course. He’s listed at +700 according to Bet MGM and should attract plenty of action.
Just behind Morikawa is Rory McIlroy at +750. McIlroy was a bit uneven through much of 2021, however he seems to have found his form this fall as he won the CJ Cup and added a top-10 finish at the DP World Tour Championship earlier this month.
Justin Thomas owns the third-best odds at +1000, while Bryson DeChambeau and Viktor Hovland round out the top five, both at at +1100.
