Tiger Woods at the Hero World Challenge and more

The Hero World Challenge works as an attempt to bring together the top-ranked players from each season. Since its inaugural edition (2000), Tiger Woods has been its main host.

Tiger Woods himself holds the record for most wins in the tournament, with five. Woods has participated in 17 editions of the event, and in addition to his victories, he has finished second five times.

He has also placed in the top five three other times, while his worst placement in the Hero World Challenge was T17 in 2015.

His personal lowest score record for this event is 22-under 266, achieved when he won the 2007 edition. This score is four strokes below the absolute record of the event, 26-under 262, held by Jordan Spieth since 2014.

However, Spieth achieved his record playing at Isleworth, where the Hero World Challenge was played only once. Woods' mark is the event record for California's Sherwood Country Club, where it was played from 2000-2013. Woods equaled the score that Davis Love III had set in December 2000.

Since 2015, the tournament has been played in Albany. The best score obtained in that course, playing the Hero World Challenge, belongs to Bubba Watson (25-under 263, 2015).

Woods' best performance in Albany was 14-under 274 in 2020. He finished fourth in that edition, which was also the last one he has played so far.

As for his 18-hole record at the event, Woods played the second round of the 2007 edition with 62 strokes. He is just one stroke behind the event record held by Rickie Fowler since 2017.
