This week, golf’s silly season kicks off with the 2024 Hero World Challenge at Albany in the Bahamas. Tiger Woods once again plays host, but this time around he’s not in the field. He did, however, cover an array of subjects during his pre-tournament press conference on Tuesday, including an update on the PGA Tour-PIF deal.
As for the players teeing it up on Thursday, Scottie Scheffler looks to defend his title and will be joined by Justin Thomas, Sahith Theegala, Patrick Cantlay, Tom Kim and Jason Day, among others.
This week’s winner won’t earn FedEx Cup points, but he will get Official World Golf Ranking points as well as $1 million of the $5 million purse.
Here are some of the best photos from the Bahamas.
