NASSAU, Bahamas -- For three days, Tiger Woods?has looked and sounded like Tiger Woods.He hit numerous golf shots confidently and without limitation during a lengthy Sunday practice session; he played a carefree practice round Monday and chatted freely about it afterward.And on Tuesday, during a news conference at Albany Golf Club, Woods said he is here to win the Hero World Challenge, although he offered up a rare and yet smart admission that it will be a tall order to do so given where he has been and where he is now.In the present, he is smiling and upbeat. In the past -- specifically here a year ago -- he was somber and downcast.If you couldnt get out of bed, how would you feel about your future doing a lot of different things in life? Woods asked Tuesday. Thats where I was. And if you werent allowed to use your hands to write any more, you could think it but you couldnt do it, how would it feel? Thats where I was.Woods admitted that he has had plenty of doubts about his golf future dating back to the Wyndham Championship, when he last played a competitive round 15 months ago.Two surgeries. A lengthy rehab that included no golf shots for more than four months, no holes played for six months. A summer of major championship golf that went on without him. Little information about his progress. An aborted return to golf in October at the Safeway Open.The doubts about Woods have been never-ending, starting with his own words on Dec. 1, 2015.I think pretty much everything beyond this will be gravy.And: Theres really nothing I can look forward, nothing I can build towards. Where is the light at the end of the tunnel?And when asked whether he might not be playing golf a year later: I really dont know.A year later, here is Woods, still without a competitive round to his name but with far more optimism.The golf-swing gurus will tell you that his swing looks different, that it is not as free-flowing, that he might be trying to protect his back. Well, yeah. For him to have any chance of playing competitively, it only makes sense that he makes some adjustments.Woods has yet to dive into those details, but he did allow that he is still working with instructor Chris Como and they spent a good bit of time together working in Florida in recent weeks.Im sitting in front of you guys with a different reality because things have improved so much that Im able to come back here and do this again, he said. It hasnt been easy. Its taken a lot of work, but Im here.And now that he is, Woods admits to being nervous, but in a good way.Theres nerves, of course, because I care, he said. I care about what I do out there. I want to win and I want to place the ball in the correct spots, give myself the best angles and bury these putts. So trying to figure that out, theres nerves. But its controlling it and getting into the flow of the round, how fast can I get into the flow of the round.I need to find the flow of the round quick, and hopefully I can do that.Perhaps the best sign is that Woods has been practicing. Twice in the past month, caddie Joe LaCava traveled to Florida to work with Woods, insisting that they play consecutive rounds walking.As basic as that sounds, it is but one important aspect of getting ready. He wants to jump in the cart and play in 2? hours, and I get that, LaCava said. But you have to walk in a tournament, and you have to get used to that rhythm again.Woods arrived in the Bahamas on Saturday and played nine holes. There was an extensive practice session Sunday, followed on Monday by a nine-hole practice round and more practice. Tuesday required a good bit of Woods time associated with the tournament, but he still fit in a practice session. And Wednesday morning is an 18-hole pro-am preceding the first round of the tournament.Woods still has yet to hit a ball in competition since signing for that final-round 70 in Greensboro at the 2015 Wyndham Championship, but so far there is cautious optimism as the 14-time major winner returns.Winning is an evolution, he said. Its going from at home on the range and then going out on my home course and then going into a tournament setting and then eventually on the back nine of an event trying to win it. And then the ultimate is a major championship and then the back nine of a major is a totally different animal. So its a process.Right now, I havent even competed yet, so Im at the beginning stages of that. Ive been at the range, Ive been at Medalist [his home course], and now Im here and I havent teed off yet.To put it in Woods own terms: That light at the end of the tunnel that he could not locate a year ago is at least a glimmer today.

This weeks panel is comprised of Bob Harig, Jason Sobel, Jonathan Coachman and Michael Collins as well as FantasyGolfInsiders Jeff Bergerson, Zach Turcotte, Taras Pitra and Jason Rouslin.Note: Golfer salaries listed are for DraftKings.Bob Harig -- Jon Rahm ($10,700)The former Arizona State golfer has made the most of his short time as a professional, earning a spot on the PGA Tour this season by finishing among the top 125 in Fedex points despite not being a PGA Tour member. Hes started this season with ties for 15th in both of his starts, including last week in Las Vegas.Jason Sobel -- Keegan Bradley ($10,000)Not gonna lie: Id forgotten Graeme McDowell won this event last year until I checked recently. Im going to keep my pick along those lines, taking another former major champion and Ryder Cup player whose game had suffered a bit of a tailspin but is now enjoying a bit of an uptick. Bradley owns top-10 finishes in each of his past two starts and should have plenty of confidence at a tournament where he finished T-8 last year.Michael Collins -- Jason Bohn ($7,600)In the three years the tournament has been held at this venue, Bohn had finishes of T-2, T-7 and T-3. Id say hes pretty comfortable down there. If you remember, last year Bohn lost in a playoff at Mayakoba and then in February suffered a heart attack.Jonathan Coachman -- Russell Knox (DK $11,800)These days, and with this field, its hard to pick against Knox. He has really started to come into his own, and he should have been on the European Ryder Cup team. In a fall event where its easy to start looking towaard the holidays, Knox seems to play his best golf and I believe that he will win this week.ddddddddddddTaras Pitra -- Johnson Wagner (DK $8,400)Wagner has quietly performed well in hitting a high number of birdies this season. He has also been excellent with his midrange approach shots and historically plays the par-4 holes well. I say quietly because the only thing anyone ever notices about Johnson is his mustache, or lack thereof. Wagner makes for a strong cash play with GPP upside this week as he has made four of five cuts, including a win in 2011.Jeff Bergerson -- Ryan Blaum ($6,900)One of the quieter rookies so far on the Tour, Blaum has nevertheless established himself as a player to be on the lookout for during the rest of the season. Blaum has made the cut in all three events this season and finished no lower than 31st. As a bonus, Blaum finished 29th at Mayakoba a year ago, giving us a nice value his weekZach Turcotte -- Charles Howell III ($7,500)Following his 15th-place finish a week ago at The Shriners, it appears that CH III is back on board with being a solid cut-maker with upside. We are hoping to grab him this week at a little bit of a discount. Last season, Howell was a fixture of the top 25 and he is a strong candidate to do it again this week on a course where he has made six of seven cuts and finished in the top 20 in five of his last six starts.Jason Rouslin -- Aaron Wise ($6,400)The reining NCAA champion almost had his breakthrough last week in Sin City, even holding the lead at one point before finishing 10th, but nonetheless he earns another start because of the good play. A hot putter, good ball striking and a maintained level of emotions will all be big factors this weekend, but at this salary Wise is definitely worth a long look.
