Hero World Challenge Winners and History

The Hero World Challenge is the current incarnation of Tiger Woods’ charity tournament, which was first held in 1999.

The Tiger Woods Foundation was formed to create and support health, education, and welfare focused community organizations.

From 2000 to 2013, the tournament was held at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California. For 2014, the tournament was moved to Isleworth in Florida, presumably to be closer to the homes of the pros enlisted to play. Beginning in 2015, it moved back to Albany in the Bahamas

From the beginning, the World Challenge has been a small-field event. Sixteen players teed it up in the 1999 event. It currently features 18 players: the four most recent Major winners, 11 from the top available in the golf rankings, the defending champion and two sponsor exemptions.

Hero Motocorp, the title sponsor, is an Indian motorcycle and scooter manufacturer. Past sponsor of the tournament include Target, Chevron and Northwestern Mutual.

The purse for the event is $3.5 million of which the winner receives $1 million.

  1. Tiger’s new swing looks pretty good, but slower. I still think that Ben Hogan had the best of all time. You can see a great Hogan swing video at jeffgoldgolf.com
