No.1 Scheffler seeks three-peat at World Challenge
World number one Scottie Scheffler will seek a third consecutive title at the Hero World Challenge golf tournament as part of the field announced Tuesday for the 20-man event.
Scheffler, a two-time Masters champion, won this year's British Open and PGA Championship among six crowns collected in the 2025 season.
Host Tiger Woods was not among the 17 players revealed for the December 4-7 showdown at Albany, Bahamas, but three tournament exemptions remain unfilled.
Six of the world's 10 top-ranked players were among the entrants unveiled Tuesday, including Scheffler, fourth-ranked American compatriot Xander Schauffele, sixth-ranked Justin Thomas, seventh-ranked US Open winner J.J. Spaun, Scotland's eighth-ranked Robert MacIntyre and 10th-ranked Harris English.
Others in the lineup include England's Justin Rose, Austria's Sepp Straka, 2016 Challenge winner Hideki Matsuyama of Japan, Canada's Corey Conners and Americans Keegan Bradley, Cameron Young, Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay, Chris Gotterup, Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman.
Woods, a 15-time major winner, has not played a top-level event since last year's British Open. He underwent back surgery 13 months ago and was training for a return when he suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon last March.
Woods, who turns 50 on December 30, is set to play for his Jupiter Links team in the TGL tech-golf series, with an opening match on January 13.
