After a one-year hiatus, Tiger Woods’ Hero World Challenge is back for 2021. On Monday, Woods tweeted the field for this year’s event, which is Dec. 2-5 at Albany in the Bahamas.
This year’s field has been expanded from 18 to 20 players, and it includes 15 of the top 20 in the world. The only players in the top 20 as of the newest ranking on Monday not in the field are Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Louis Oosthuizen, Sam Burns and Billy Horschel.
Henrik Stenson returns to defend his title he won in 2019. The 2020 Hero was canceled due to Covid-19.
This year’s field consists of the winners of 20 majors, as well as 14 Ryder Cup players from last month’s event at Whistling Straits.
