Scottie Scheffler is in a five-way tie for the lead with JJ Spaun, Sepp Straka, Wyndham Clark and Akshay Bhatia after the first round.
Scottie Scheffler is returning to competitive action for the first time since the Ryder Cup. He is aiming to become the first man to win three consecutive World Challenges.
Other past winners competing this week are Hideki Matsuyama (2016) and Jordan Spieth (2014).
The tournament is hosted by Tiger Woods in aid of the Tiger Woods Foundation. It has always had a small field, currently set at 20 players. Playing this year are nine of the world’s top-20 ranked golfers: World No.1 Scheffler, JJ Spaun (6), Robert MacIntyre (7), Justin Rose (10), Harris English (11), Keegan Bradley (14), Sepp Straka (15), Cameron Young (18), and Hideki Matsuyama (20).
Three players – JJ Spaun, Chris Gotterup and Andrew Novak – are making their Hero World Challenge debuts.
Scheffler is one of four men to have won the event twice. The others are Viktor Hovland, Graeme McDowell and Davis Love II. The man with the most wins? Well it's Tiger, with five. He will not be competing this year as he is recovering from surgery in October.
The tournament is an unofficial PGA Tour event. This means that no FedExCup points will be awarded at it, but Official World Golf Ranking points will be.
In this guide Golf Monthly brings you all the details on how to watch the Hero World Challenge online, on TV, and from anywhere in the world.
Watch Hero World Challenge from anywhere
If you are outside your usual country, you can still access the streaming services you subscribe to, even when you're away from home, thanks to a handy piece of software known as a VPN.
A Virtual Private Network – to give it the full name – can make your devices appear to be in any location, bypassing geo-restrictions so you can watch the things you've signed up for. It's perfect for watching golf from anywhere, and it comes with a host of internet security benefits, too.
Our expert colleagues over at TechRadar have tested loads of VPNs and they reckon NordVPN is the best VPN provider out there right now.
Watch Hero World Challenge in the US
In the US this week, TV coverage is spread across NBC, the Golf Channel, and Peacock.
