NASSAU, Bahamas – That’s a wrap. Tiger Woods put the finishing touches on an eventful 2018 with an equally eventful final-round 73 at the Hero World Challenge. Some parting thoughts ...
• Tiger’s 1-over finish wasn’t great but it did move him out of the basement, an honor that went to Hideki Matsuyama, who finished 18th in the 18-man field. That said, Woods' 17th-place showing did match his worst finish (he was T-17 in 2015) at the Hero World Challenge.
• It could have been worse. Tiger played the front nine at Albany on Sunday in 4 over par, a run that included two shots into the water at the ninth hole – lather, rinse, repeat.
