The tournament is hosted by Tiger Woods in aid of the Tiger Woods Foundation. It has always had a small field, currently set at 20 players. Playing this year are nine of the world’s top-20 ranked golfers: World No.1 Scheffler, JJ Spaun (6), Robert MacIntyre (7), Justin Rose (10), Harris English (11), Keegan Bradley (14), Sepp Straka (15), Cameron Young (18), and Hideki Matsuyama (20).

Three players – JJ Spaun, Chris Gotterup and Andrew Novak – are making their Hero World Challenge debuts.

Scheffler is one of four men to have won the event twice. The others are Viktor Hovland, Graeme McDowell and Davis Love II. The man with the most wins? Well it's Tiger, with five. He will not be competing this year as he is recovering from surgery in October.

The tournament is an unofficial PGA Tour event. This means that no FedExCup points will be awarded at it, but Official World Golf Ranking points will be.

In this guide Golf Monthly brings you all the details on how to watch the Hero World Challenge online, on TV, and from anywhere in the world.
