Golf’s silly season is upon us, and it begins this week in the Bahamas.
The 2023 Hero World Challenge is set to begin Thursday at Albany, where Tiger Woods will make his first start since the Masters in April. In addition, 19 of the world’s best players will be in the field, including Will Zalatoris, who is also returning for the first time since also withdrawing from the Masters and having back surgery.
Viktor Hovland, the 2023 FedEx Cup winner, is the two-time defending champion at the event.
Albany is No. 25 on Golfweek’s Best list of courses in Mexico, Carribean, Atlantic islands and Central America . Ernie Els designed the course, which opened in 2010.
