After Tiger Woods blew the final two holes on the first day of the Hero World Challenge with a bogey and a double, his even-par 72 left him six strokes off the lead. Over the next three days, a 6-under-66, 5-under-67 and 3-under-69 only served to get him back to four off winner Henrik Stenson, who wound up at 18 under (69-67-68-66-270) in the $3.5 million event played in New Providence, Bahamas.

    In between Stenson and Tiger were Jon Rahm (-17) and Patrick Reed (-16), so Tiger was able to grab fourth money that he will donate to the sponsors' charity, as he has done for 11 years. 

    Next on the schedule is the highly-anticipated President's Cup at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia, where Tiger will share the spotlight as player and captain. His televised announcement that he would be a captain's pick - spoken in the third person - was hilarious.

    Also on the schedule is the $3.5 million QBE Shootout at Tiburon in Naples, featuring 23 male players, plus Lexi Thompson. Gator Billy Horschel will be there, along with such as Charley Hoffman, impressive rookie Viktor Hovland, Charles Howell III, up-and-coming star Kevin Kisner, Ian Poulter, Chez Reavie and Bubba Watson.
