Hero World Challenge Preview
The 20-man field is set, and it is a doozy.
As one of the final events of the year, it is sure to bring entertainment ahead of the holiday season.
Event host Tiger Woods will tee it up for the first time since the Masters in April. He will tee it up alongside Justin Thomas at 11:52 a.m. ET.
Also returning to competitive golf is Will Zalatoris, after missing the past eight months due to injury.
Defending champion Viktor Hovland returns as he eyes his third straight win at the Hero World Challenge.
The Norwegian arrives at this event as one of the best players in the world, and it is hard to suggest anyone is better than him right now. In Hovland’s last appearance, he finished runner-up at the DP World Tour Championship. He has the momentum to three-peat, but anyone in this field is good enough to take home the trophy.
The field includes the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, and many other big names.
