Previewing Hero World Challenge Round 1
The temperatures are plummeting in the United States as the calendar turns to December. But if you’re struggling to get on the course yourself this week, we have something to spend the extra time on. Down in the Bahamas, 20 of the best golfers on the planet will compete to take home the Hero World Challenge trophy, handed to them by tournament host Tiger Woods.
Beginning Thursday morning, you can stay warm on the couch and watch the likes of Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and more compete for bragging rights (and a nice, big winner’s paycheck).
