Power Rankings: Fantasy golf advice for the Hero World Challenge

Anniversaries are reasons to celebrate or reflect. The best present reasons for both. This is one of those anniversaries. The Hero World Challenge marks one year since Tiger Woods’ consistent return to competition. Qualifying his return is necessary because of the numerous stops and restarts of the past several years. As a result and by every measurement, the last 12 months have been a success. Every time he’s appeared – from resuming his career (T9, Hero) to contending (T2, Valspar Championship) to winning (TOUR Championship) to participating in the Ryder Cup again – he updated a stagnant “last time Tiger Woods (fill in the blank)” with not just pedestrian occurrences but notable achievements. So, now, this week’s Hero World Challenge serves as merely a continuation for the 80-time PGA TOUR champion, and you know he’s just fine with that. Eighteen of the sport’s best are assembled at Albany in The Bahamas for the fourth consecutive year. Scroll beneath the full-field ranking for more on the course and expectations. The Hero World Challenge provides an opportunity in late autumn to keep the chops fresh during the TOUR’s holiday hiatus. The bonus is stacked competition that just happens to include Woods, who doubles as the tournament host. 
If U.S. fans didn’t overindulge over the Thanksgiving weekend, this field will clinch that experience. In conjunction with his business partners and philanthropic benefactors, Woods attracts such strength and depth with Official World Golf Ranking points and a $3.5-million prize fund from which the winner will pocket $1 million. There is no cut in the 72-hole, stroke-play competition. Albany is an Ernie Els design situated on southwestern New Providence Island. Because of its locale, wind is the primary defense, but with five par 5s, the course multiples the chances to sign for red numbers after completing the 7,309-yard stroll. Last year’s field averaged 70.333 on the par 72. (There are five par 3s to balance the nines as par 36s.) At 18-under 270, Rickie Fowler prevailed by four strokes last year, yet he started the final round seven back of the lead. His closing round featured 11 birdies en route to a bogey-free, course-record 61. The heartiest gusts of wind this week are forecast for Saturday and in advance of probable rain on Sunday, but scoring once again should be low overall. Rising temperatures into the low 80s are expected.

International Team on track for Presidents Cup turnaroundInternational Team on track for Presidents Cup turnaround

MELBOURNE, Australia – International Presidents Cup captain Ernie Els is hopeful a new world order is upon us for the 2019 Presidents Cup in Melbourne after several changes have been afforded to his team. Speaking at the announcement of Geoff Ogilvy as his first captain’s assistant for the biennial match up against the U.S. team Els believes things are on track for a turnaround after a huge run of American dominance. A year ago the U.S. team were comprehensive winners in New Jersey to the tune of 19-11, taking their record to 9-1-1 over the Internationals in the competition. But with their recent defeat in the Ryder Cup to Europe Els feels the door might be opening to finally wrestle back the ascendency come December 11-14, 2019. Changes he has already overseen in meetings with U.S. captain Tiger Woods and PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan include a new one-year points selection policy, rather than the old two-year system, ensuring his top eight automatic places are taken by players in form. Of course this means he now has four captains picks instead of the previous two, once again allowing flexibility into his lineup. Els has also been given more say in the golf course setup as the home team, and also gets to choose the order of play. Even catering has been changed, with Els given more flexibility to ensure all cultures and tastes in his side are looked after. “It feels a lot more positive. I spoke with Tiger in the room with Jay Monahan, just the three of us, and we went through a lot of stuff,â€� Els said. “I can now play a guy once before Sunday, which was never the case; a guy almost had to play every session. Tiger didn’t like that much, but I got it through eventually. I feel it’s a lot fairer and I think we’ve got a good shot at it now.â€� Els was also very vocal on the need to create a cauldron like atmosphere at Royal Melbourne and implored the local Australian fans to step up much like they did in 1998 when the lone International Team victory was secured. Having seen the intimidation like thunder clap in Paris a few months ago, Els wants something similar. “We really want the crowd behind us this time,â€� Els said. “I know our play will dictate the noise of the crowd, but if we can get them from that first shot, I know how intimidating it can be. “It’s going to be a feeling of when or if we lift the trophy, it’s for the Australian people. The Australian people are pulling us over the line. “We want to respect our visiting team, but we want to, at the end of the day, win and beat them and win the Cup back.â€� Els expects huge competition for spots on his team and signaled his captains picks are open to anyone who shows form and a hunger to be part of the squad. “I’m not going to have any problem having a motivated team next year,â€� he said. “I like spending time with them. I’m still playing a bit, so I’m going to play a lot with them and we’ll have a lot of meetings, a lot of talks and I’ll keep them exactly in the loop where I’m at, so I’ll really look forward to take them out to the first tee.â€�
