2024 FIELD
NO. 1-RANKED SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER HEADLINES PLAYER FIELD FOR THE 2024 HERO WORLD CHALLENGE
The 2024 Hero World Challenge once again features one of the strongest fields in golf. Headlined by World No. 1-ranked Scottie Scheffler, the tournament’s defending champion who won Olympic Gold in Paris in August, the 20 player field will tee it up at Albany, Bahamas December 5-8.
Eight members of the United States’ victorious 2024 Presidents Cup team (Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Patrick Cantlay, Sahith Theegala, Keegan Bradley, Russell Henley, Sam Burns and Brian Harman) and three members of the International team (Sungjae Im, Tom Kim and Jason Day) will compete at Albany.
Eight players will make their Hero World Challenge debuts this December – Ludvig Åberg, Theegala, Henley, Robert MacIntyre, Aaron Rai, Matthieu Pavon, Akshay Bhatia and Nick Dunlap. The 2024 field represents golfers from eight different countries (U.S., Republic of Korea, Austria, Australia, England, Scotland, France and Sweden).
The field features six golfers who have combined to win eight major championships – 2022 and 2024 Masters champion Scheffler, 2023 U.S. Open champ Wyndham Clark, 2023 Open Championship winner Brian Harman, 2017 and 2022 PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas, 2015 PGA Championship winner Jason Day, and 2011 PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley.
