Woods not part of in initial Hero World Challenge field

Tiger Woods, despite not being part of the initial player field for the Hero World Challenge, remains a possibility for inclusion. Woods, the 15-time major champion, has not participated in an official event since the 2024 British Open due to injuries, surgeries and legal issues. He recently accepted a five-year suspension of his driver's license after settling a case involving impaired driving.

The 20-man field includes the top players, with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and defending champion Hideki Matsuyama among the committed participants. Seven of the world's top 10 golfers are listed for the tournament set to take place December 3 to 6 in Albany, Bahamas.
