Scottie Scheffler is all set to compete in the 2025 Hero World Challenge. The golfer's past performance in this tournament has been pretty impressive, and he was not only the winner of the previous edition but also of the 2023 edition. Scheffler also has the record for the greatest win margin of six shots in this tournament's history, which he accomplished in 2024.
On October 7, Golf Digest posted a report regarding Scottie Scheffler's participation in the tournament. The golfer has been in top form this season, winning six PGA Tour events and two golf majors. While the World No. 1 was unable to help his team gain an edge in the 2025 Ryder Cup, he did win his singles match against Rory McIlroy.
This makes Scottie Scheffler a clear fan favourite to win the 2025 Hero World Challenge and accomplish a three-peat. In addition, the Golf Digest report also discussed Tiger Woods' potential participation in the competition. The tournament typically involves 20 players competing, and 17 golfers have been chosen for the field, with Woods' name not included.
Three golfers will be chosen for the field by sponsor exemption, and there is a slight chance that Woods may be included. The 82-time PGA Tour winner has been sidelined for the whole 2025 season due to a ruptured right Achilles tendon sustained in March.
Interestingly, if Woods fails to compete in this year's Hero World Challenge, it will be his second consecutive absence from this competition. After all, he missed the event in 2024 owing to microdecompression surgery for nerve impingement in the lumbar spine.
