There will 18 players teeing it up on Thursday for the $3.5 million in purse money offered at the no-cut Hero World Challenge at the Albany resort in New Providence in the Bahamas.
Golf enthusiasts, however, likely will be focused on just one player: Tiger Woods.
That intense focus and scrutiny is nothing new for Woods, but the circumstances this time around make this weekend's work on the course unique. It will mark Woods' first time to play an official competitive round since August 2015 after he took an extended sabbatical from the tour to rehab and recuperate from back surgery.
