Hero World Challenge 2025 Field

World No.1 Scottie Scheffler makes his first start since the Ryder Cup as he seeks a third consecutive Hero World Challenge title.

Scheffler triumphed by three in 2023 and then six last time out, following Viktor Hovland in winning the event back-to-back.

Once again there is no Tiger Woods in the field for the tournament he hosts after a recent back surgery, but Woods will be on-site this week at Albany in the Bahamas.

The 20-man field is stacked as always, with four of the world's top-10 lined up and nine of the top 20.

The four-round event does not feature a cut but, controversially, Official World Golf Ranking points are on the line. The champion will take home $1m from the $5m total prize pool.
