Sure, it's technically the PGA Tour offseason but the world's best golfers just can't stop teeing it up. Especially when there's a trip to the Bahamas, for the good cause of raising money for the Tiger Woods Foundation, in it for you.
Making his first start since the Ryder Cup 2025, world No.1 Scheffler is the main draw and he'll be joined by U.S. teammates J.J. Spaun, Harris English and Cameron Young, along with the Bethpage Black captain Keegan Bradley. Team Europe stars Rose and Robert MacIntyre are also in the field and have been drawn to play together in Rounds 1 and 2.
One man who won't be teeing it up, though, is Woods himself as he recovers from his latest surgery, hopefully in time for the new season. It may technically be an exhibition, with spirits high and lots of fun to be had out on the course, but these are competitive beasts and they want to win.
Below is a complete guide on where to watch 2025 Hero World Challenge live streams, together with U.S. broadcast schedules, international TV channels and Round 1 tee times.
