2022 Hero World Challenge: Tee times, schedule, and where to watch
In a major development, Tiger Woods bowed out of the Hero World Challenge with an injury. The ace golfer announced he won’t be playing due to plantar fasciitis. However, the event is set to go forward without the host and will tee off on Thursday, December 1, 2022.
With the official PGA Tour event done, golfers will head into the 2022 Hero World Challenge with a more eased approach. The 20-man field is currently arriving in the Bahamas ahead of the first tee-off. Even though the event isn’t official, its $3.5 million prize purse does appeal to the golfers.

The event will also see big name pairings, including the Texas duo Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth, British pair Matt Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood, Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland tee off early on Thursday.
