The Thanksgiving weekend is finally over and now we can prepare ourselves for the last event of the season. An unofficial event on the PGA Tour, the Hero World Challenge will play out in Albany, the Bahamas, from the 2nd to the 5th of December.

The tournament offers no prize money and is a benefit event for the Tiger Woods Foundation. The charity aims to empower minorities, especially the underprivileged. It has many platforms under it, including the TGR Learning Labs, the Genesis Open, The National, Tiger Jam, and, of course, the Hero World Challenge.
