The 2022 Hero World Challenge begins on Thursday, December 1, with the first round at Albany in the Bahamas. Here’s what you need to know to watch Round 1 on TV or online.
Previewing Round 1
At last week’s DP World Tour Championship, former World No. 1 Jon Rahm opined about the unfairness of the Official World Golf Ranking, especially the fact that the PGA Tour’s RSM Classic offered more points than the DP World Tour’s star-studded finale. He then went on to prove his point, winning the tournament but staying put at No. 5 in the ranking.
‘The OWGR is laughable’: Jon Rahm unloads on world ranking system
This week, Rahm has as an opportunity to take advantage of the ranking realities he takes issue with, and to finally make some headway toward reclaiming the No. 1 spot at the 20-player Hero World Challenge.
Another former No. 1, Scottie Scheffler, is also in the field, and like Rahm will be hoping to capitalize on current No. 1 Rory McIlroy’s absence and reclaim the title of world’s best before year’s end.
You can watch TV coverage of the first round on Golf Channel beginning at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, or stream the action via Golfchannel.com, NBCSports.com and Peacock.
