ALBANY, BAHAMAS: Viktor Hovland has played just once since his Ryder Cup heroics and finished T-2 at last fortnight's DP World Tour Championships in Dubai. He is coming off a superb year and that iconic Tiger Trophy he won at the Hero World Challenge on his last two visits, makes him a strong favourite to make it three-in-a-row. No one, not even the five-time HWC winner and host, Tiger Woods, has accomplished the feat.
Hovland, once called the 'Resort King' for his wins in Puerto Rico, Mayakoba and the current favourite in Bahamas, has between June and August won three times on the PGA Tour while becoming the FedEx Cup Champion.
