Also looking to grab a win will be Tiger Woods and his son, who narrowly missed out on a victory last year. Woods made his return to golf last week at The Match, where he and Rory McIlroy lost to Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth. He will undoubtedly be looking to redeem himself with an outstanding performance at the event.

Justin Thomas will also be looking forward to reclaiming the title he and his father won in 2020. He would almost certainly also want to add another victory over Woods to his tally this year. The field also sees Women’s World No. 1 Nelly Korda pair up with her father, the ex-pro tennis player Petr Korda, who will want to settle for nothing less than a win.
