Dec 22, 2024; Orlando, Florida, [USA]; Tiger Woods looks on during the PNC Championship at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images The Tiger Woods-hosted Hero World Challenge features several big names ranging from two-time defending champion Scottie Scheffler to Xander Schauffele to Justin Thomas.
Six of the top 10 players in the Official World Golf Ranking are booked to participate in the 20-golfer exhibition. The tournament will be contested at the Albany Golf Course in New Providence, The Bahamas, from Dec. 4-7.
One major name missing from the initial field is Woods, a five-time winner of the event. There are three sponsor exemptions to be announced at a later date, however, leaving the door ajar should the 15-time major champion opt to compete.
Woods, 49, has been absent from PGA Tour-sanctioned tournaments since the Open Championship in July 2024.
He has been plagued by health issues since a 2021 car accident. He had surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon on March 11.
