When will PGA Tour Hero World Challenge Start? Date, time, participants, and more

The Hero World Challenge Championship, hosted by Tiger Woods, started in 2000. This year, it will begin on Monday, November 28, in Albany, Bahamas.

Around seventeen professional golfers will compete in an unofficial championship that has a purse of $3.5 million.

The event is organized to benefit the Tiger Woods Foundation, and it does not offer FedEx Cup points as it's an unofficial championship. Neither will its prize money be added to the players' official earnings. However, the event is scheduled to be part of the PGA Tour.

The event will start on November 28 with an Amateur practice round and will wrap up on December 4 with the final round and after-party.

Notably, Tiger Woods has announced that he will play at the 2022 Hero World Challenge.
