Scottie Scheffler’s amazing skills, undying determination, and resilience have helped him dominate the OWGR leaderboard. So there is no doubt we will get to see all of it when he defends his Hero World Challenge title this year. The 2023 champion will face tough competition from the likes of Team U.S. captain for the Ryder Cup; Keegan Bradley, world no. 5 who recently returned from an injury; Ludvig Åberg, 20-year-old rising star, Nick Dunlap, and many other pros. Unfortunately, fans won’t get to see Tiger Woods play as he has opted out of the tournament due to an injury.

Everyone will be even more motivated to bag the $1 million winner’s payout the tournament has to offer. The pros have enough reasons to motivate them to bring their best strokeplay at Albany, Bahamas. So who do you think will come out on top on December 8 in the Hero World Challenge 2024?
