How to watch Hero World Challenge 2023

The Hero World Challenge is usually one of the marquee events of the golf offseason, but that is especially true in 2023, as the annual tournament is going to see Tiger Woods playing in a professional tournament for the first time since the 2023 Masters. That alone is likely going to make a lot of golf fans want to watch the Hero World Challenge, so we’re here to help you know how to do that.

Woods and his TGR Foundation established the Hero World Challenge in 2000 as a way to support the foundation’s efforts. Those include empowering students to pursue their passions through education, particularly youths from under-resourced communities.

The entire Hero World Challenge field only consists of 20 players, as this is an invitational tournament. But of those 20 players, six of the top 10-ranked golfers in the world are participating, and 16 of the top 25.

The tournament takes place from Thursday, November 30, to Sunday, December 3. Here is how you can watch the Hero World Challenge 2023 either on TV or streaming online.
