Hero World Challenge
December 2nd – 5th, 2021
Albany Golf Club
New Providence, Bahamas
Par: 72 / Yardage: 7,414
Purse: $3.5 million
with $1,000,000 to the winner
Defending Champion:
Henrik Stenson
This week’s field includes:
The field is excellent but could be better. 19 of the 20 players are ranked in the top-50 (#182nd Henrik Stenson is in the field), with six players in the top ten. Unfortunately, a few marquee names took a pass. #1 Jon Rahm, #3 Dustin Johnson, and #5 Patrick Cantlay, along with #15 Hideki Matsuyama won’t be playing. Both Rahm and Matsuyama have won at Albany but still took a pass, maybe meaning that all four are planning to play a lot in January.
The field includes six top 25 players on the FedEx point standings for 2022: #2 Sam Burns, #5 Viktor Hovland, #T-9 Rory McIlroy, #14 Scottie Scheffler, and #15 Collin Morikawa..
