Woods not part of initial Hero World Challenge field

Tournament host Tiger Woods was not listed ‌in the initial player field released on Monday for the December ‌3-6 Hero World Challenge in Albany, ​Bahamas, but could still be added as one of the three ​exemption spots.

The 15-time major champion ‌has not competed in an official event since The Open at Royal Troon in July 2024, where he missed the cut.
