PGA Tour - Hero World Challenge

Tiger Woods makes his return in the Bahamas for the Hero World Challenge. The field is limited to 20 players, with 19 inside the top 40, along with Tiger.

It is Woods’ first event back since The Masters, where he withdrew after three rounds and shortly after had surgery to fuse his ankle.

Another PGA Tour member making his return is Will Zalatoris, who also hasn’t played since April. Zalatoris had microdiscectomy surgery to cure two herniated discs after withdrawing from The Masters.

Viktor Hovland returns to the Bahamas after winning the last two Hero World Challenges and looks to make it a three-peat.

Australian Open - Men’s & Women’s

A couple of Sydney’s gems, The Australian and The Lakes golf clubs, host the Australian Open. The men's and women's fields will see alternating tee times across both courses on Thursday and Friday, with the weekend finishing at The Australian Golf Club.

Siblings Min Woo and Minjee Lee are set to captivate local fans, with Min Woo coming off a victory last week at the Australian PGA.

Defending champions include Poland's Adrian Meronk and South Africa's Ashleigh Buhai, each eyeing another Stonehaven Cup victory.

Cam Smith looks to bounce back after a rough outing last week, missing the cut by nine shots.
