Golf tips and free bets: Two picks for the Hero World Challenge including 22/1 shot

0 29

TIGER WOODS’ withdrawal has stripped the World Challenge of its main attraction, but there is still plenty of star appeal, with eight of the world’s top 11 players in the field.

You have to wonder what the attraction is – apart from the fact the event is played on an undemanding resort course in the Bahamas, there is no cut, and a select field of just twenty players will do battle for a $1million first prize! 

The Hero World Challenge takes place this week

Jon Rahm is a hot favourite to follow up his impressive victory at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, and it is easy to see why.

He shrugged off a stuttering start a couple of weeks ago to romp to a third victory in four attempts in the climax to the European season, and could hardly be in better form at the moment.

Since finishing runner-up in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth he has won twice, and finished in a share of fourth behind Rory McIlroy in the PGA Tour’s CJ Cup tournament.

He also posted the lowest 72 hole score since the World Challenge switch to the Bahamas in 2015 when he romped to a four stroke victory here in 2018, before finishing runner-up the following year.

So he loves the course. But while I wouldn’t put anyone off the red hot Spanish star, odds of around 5-1 against such a high quality field are not for me. But this duo are right up my street….

Hot shot: Tony Finau, 10-1

Since finally learning how to win, the big-hitting American has made a real habit of it.

It seems hard to believe Finau was widely dismissed a nearly man after going five years without adding to his maiden victory at the 2016 Puerto Rico Open – before finally getting across the line again at last year’s Northern Trust tournament.

He flies into the Bahamas boasting three victories from his last seven outings, including a four shot romp in his most recent start, at the Houston Open. No problems there!

Finau is a regular in this event, and in his current mood he looks capable of going one better than his runner-up finish behind Rahm in 2018.

At double the odds, Finau makes more appeal than Rahm, especially with most bookmakers offering a quarter of the odds for the top four.

Mid price: Tom King, 22-1.

The charismatic Korean has been golf’s big breakout star in 2022, and he will be determined to end the year on a high note.

The man who prefers to be called Tom, rather than Joohyung, because of his affinity with the Thomas the Tank Engine stories has been on the fast track since deciding to focus on the PGA Tour barely five months ago.

Since then he has won twice in the States and played some unforgettable golf at the President’s Cup – not bad for a kid who only turned twenty in June.

Kim is a Bahamas rookie. But it was the same story at the Wyndham Championship and the Shriners, and he won both of them. 

Some of the big names could be rusty this week after end of season breaks. But Kim arrives on the back of s fourth place at the hotly-contested Dunlop Phoenix tournament in Japan two weeks ago.
