SportsLine's proven model simulated the Hero World Challenge 2024 10,000 times and revealed its surprising PGA Tour golf picks

Hero World Challenge will start Thursday, with the PGA Tour event at the Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas, welcoming 20 world-class players to this challenge event on the 2024 PGA Tour schedule. The Hero World Challenge brings the PGA Tour to Bahamas for the Tiger Woods-hosted challenge event with a 20-player field.

Tony Finau plans to play his golf on the PGA Tour in 2025, the six-time winner confirmed to Golfweek. Withdrawing from this week's 2024 Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, Finau found himself the subject of rumors regarding a potential to leap to LIV Golf come the new year.

Tony Finau denied rumors that he was leaving the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf, telling Golfweek that his recent withdrawal from the Hero World Challenge was due to a knee procedure.

Tiger Woods is at the Hero World Challenge this week in the Bahamas, but he won't be playing, telling reporters he isn't sure when he'll be back competing on the PGA Tour.

Looks like it's going to be more than a bit before we see Tiger Woods on the golf course. It certainly won't be this year. The 48-year-old Woods withdrew from this week's Hero World Challenge, an unofficial event he hosts in the Bahamas.
