The 2024 Hero World Challenge is almost here.
Tiger Woods is a five-time past champion of the event but he’s only hosting this year. He is still unable to compete since he had microdecompression surgery on his lower back Sept. 13 to relieve nerve impingement and back pain. He hasn’t announced when he plans to try to play again.
He has put together a stout 20-man lineup, however, headlined by world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. He’s playing alongside Hero first-timer Sahith Theegala.
The four-day, 72-hole stroke play event has a $5 million purse and a $1 million first-place prize.
From Thursday’s first-round starting times as well as TV information, here’s what you need to know about the 2024 Hero World Challenge. All times listed are ET.
