The Hero World Challenge is hosted by Tiger Woods and benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation. It is not an official PGA Tour event, but since 2009, the tournament has offered Official World Golf Ranking points. First played in 2000, the Hero World Challenge was played in California until 2013. In 2014, the venue moved to Florida before heading to the Bahamas in 2015; it has been played there ever since.
Scottie Scheffler won his second consecutive Hero World Challenge when he defeated Tom Kim by six shots in 2024.
