Tiger Woods hosted the ninth annual Target World Challenge, where he competed against 15 of the world’s best golfers in a charity event to benefit his Tiger Woods Foundation. Sure enough, Tiger won his own tournament and donated his $1.35 million first prize to the Foundation. It was a no-brainer when I advised you to back…

Tiger Woods @ 6/4: Defending champion Woods shot a final round 68 to cruise to seven-shot victory and seal his fourth Target World Challenge title. He finished on 22 under par to equal the course record and prove once again, that he is even value at very short odds. World number three Jim Furyk (11/1) mounted a challenge to Tiger halfway through the final round but fell away on the back nine to finish third. U. S. Masters Champion Zach Johnson (25/1) finished second on 15 under par.
 
I highlighted two players who I suspected might challenge Tiger, sadly they didn’t:

Padraig Harrington @ 12/1: Harrington can boast an excellent record in this event but didn’t produce his best form on this occasion. He eventually finished with a total of 286, 20 shots behind Tiger.
Rory Sabbatini @ 20/1: Sabbatini started the event well but became the first player in the tournament’s nine-year history to withdraw. He didn’t start his final round because of ‘personal reasons’.
