The Hero World Challenge 2023 is scheduled from November 30–December 3 at the Albany Golf Course in the Bahamas. The event will comprise 20 of the world’s top-ranked golfers. Regardless of it being a part of the PGA Tour schedule, there is no prize purse at the Hero World Challenge. Nor will any FedEx Cup points be offered, because it is an unofficial event.

Hosted by Tiger Woods, the proceeds from this tournament will be forwarded to the Tiger Woods Foundation. But this time Hero World Challenge is special since Woods is making his long-anticipated comeback with the event. Since it is just around the corner, let us learn about the TV schedule, how to watch and other things about the Hero World Challenge 2023.

After a long wait of more than a year, Tiger Woods gave his fans what were they waiting for. He announced a comeback at the Hero Challenge. The reason for this impromptu decision was the backing out of golfers Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, who were committed to play.

In the last moment, Woods finally decided to step in into the last open spot at the tour. He brought with himself replacements in the form of Justin Rose and Lucas Glover. Now, with the return of Tiger Woods, the demand to see the tournament has increased much. Here is the schedule of the Hero World Challenge and where you can watch it.
