The 2021
Hero World Challenge is scheduled to be played at the Albany Golf Club in New Providence, The Bahamas between 2 and 5 December.
This will be the 22nd edition of the tournament hosted by Tiger Woods, which takes place each December, but the 2020 event was cancelled due to COVID-19.
The tournament is part of the PGA Tour schedule, but does not offer FedEx Cup points or official money as it is an unofficial event.

Henrik Stenson is the defending champion having won the last Hero World Challenge trophy with the tournament taking place in 2019.
The Swedish star will be among the small number (currently 18) of top-ranked golf professionals as he looks to retain his title.
Past FedExCup champions Rory McIlroy (2016, ’19), Jordan Spieth (2015), Justin Thomas (2017) and Justin Rose (2018) are set to tee it up.
Collin Morikawa, fresh off a victory at the DP World Tour Championship and Webb Simpson - a former US Open winner – are also part of the field.

“The enthusiasm among the world’s best golfers to compete in the 2021 Hero World Challenge is at an all-time high,” said Mike Antolini, tournament director.
“We are excited for the tournament’s return to Albany, Bahamas”.
Woods is the most decorated player in the history of the Hero World Challenge having won a record five titles.
The 15-time major champion remains unable to compete as he continues his rehabilitation from February's car crash, with no news on a possible return to competitive tournaments.
Davis Love III and Graeme McDowell have won the Hero World Challenge twice each.
