The field for the Hero World Challenge was announced but Tiger Woods left a bit of intrigue also.
The 20-golfer field includes Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, and Patrick Cantlay.
The tournament will take place from November 30 – December 3 in Albany, Bahamas.
The intrigue lies in the fact that only 19 of the 20 spots were announced.
| 2023 HERO WORLD CHALLENGE FIELD | |
| Scottie Scheffler (1), USA | Keegan Bradley (18), USA |
| Viktor Hovland (4), Norway | Collin Morikawa (19), USA |
| Patrick Cantlay (5) USA | Tony Finau (20), USA |
| Xander Schauffele (6), USA | Sam Burns (21), USA |
| Max Homa (7), USA | Jason Day (22), Australia |
| Matt Fitzpatrick (8), England | Sepp Straka (23), Austria |
| Brian Harman (9), USA | Will Zalatoris (24), USA |
| Wyndham Clark (10), USA | Rickie Fowler, tournament exemption |
| Jordan Spieth (12), USA | Justin Thomas, tournament exemption |
| Cameron Young (17), USA | TBA tournament exemption |
Brooks Koepka would have the 20th spot if he wasn’t suspended by the PGA Tour for joining LIV Golf.
That has led to the obvious question… is Woods going to use the final tournament exemption spot?
Woods hasn’t played since The Masters.
The other two exemption spots are being used by Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas.
