The criticism continued from there. “Would never have guessed that Spieth would get yet another invite/exemption,” wrote one fan. Others were just as direct in their views. One post read: “Shocking Spieth got one – How many does he get this year for the elevated events?” while another simply put it as: “Tiger is desperate.” While there are plenty who question whether Spieth deserves his spot, few would argue that his name still carries plenty of weight in golf, and that may explain why he will be playing in Woods’ event. Jordan Spieth named as 2025 Hero World Challenge field is finalized The event will once again be held at Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas, with 10 of the world’s top 20 players set to compete. Scottie Scheffler will be looking to win the tournament for a third straight year. Justin Thomas, J.J. Spaun, Robert MacIntyre, Harris English, Keegan Bradley, Justin Rose, Sepp Straka, Hideki Matsuyama and Cameron Young are also set to play at Albany. Sam Burns, Corey Conners, Chris Gotterup, Wyndham Clark, Brian Harman and Alex Noren will also be part of Tiger Woods’ event in December. On the other hand, Spieth will be joined by special invitees Akshay Bhatia and Billy Horschel at the Hero World Challenge. The event is not what it used to be, and it would take something drastic to bring back some excitement that once surrounded it. Adding LIV golfers such as Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau would do just that, but until then do not expect things to change any time soon.
