The PGA Tour heads to the Bahamas this week for the Hero World Challenge, as Tiger Woods returns to competitive golf.

While this event does not award FedEx Cup points, the competition will still be off the charts. Included within this field are 10 of the top 20 players in the current Official World Golf Rankings.

On Thursday and Friday, the Golf Channel will air three-hour telecasts.

Then, on the weekend, Golf Channel will provide coverage for the first half of the day, while NBC takes over in the afternoon. NBC will debut Paul McGinley and Curt Byrum as their lead analysts this week after Paul Azinger did not have his contract renewed.

Here is the full schedule for network coverage:

Hero World Challenge Preview

The 20-man field is set, and it is a doozy.

As one of the final events of the year, it is sure to bring entertainment ahead of the holiday season.

Event host Tiger Woods will tee it up for the first time since the Masters in April. He will tee it up alongside Justin Thomas at 11:52 a.m. ET.

Also returning to competitive golf is Will Zalatoris, after missing the past eight months due to injury.

Defending champion Viktor Hovland returns as he eyes his third straight win at the Hero World Challenge.

The Norwegian arrives at this event as one of the best players in the world, and it is hard to suggest anyone is better than him right now. In Hovland’s last appearance, he finished runner-up at the DP World Tour Championship. He has the momentum to three-peat, but anyone in this field is good enough to take home the trophy.

The field includes the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, and many other big names.

Round 1 Tee Times for the Hero World Challenge (ET):

Tee No. 1

10:46 a.m. – Brian Harman, Lucas Glover

10:57 a.m. – Cameron Young, Sepp Straka

11:08 a.m. – Tony Finau, Wyndham Clark

11:19 a.m. – Keegan Bradley, Rickie Fowler

11:30 a.m. – Matt Fitzpatrick, Justin Rose

12:03 p.m. – Jason Day, Collin Morikawa

12:14 p.m. – Will Zalatoris, Jordan Spieth

Jordan Spieth reveals post-Ryder Cup injury suffered at home

   

Filed under:

Jordan Spieth disclosed that he suffered a wrist injury at home one week after competing at the Ryder Cup.

Jordan Spieth is a family man with two young children not yet old enough to attend preschool.

So, when he is not on the golf course, he is busy caring for his young children like any strong father would.

But after representing the Americans at the Ryder Cup, Spieth re-aggravated his wrist, which he revealed Tuesday ahead of the Hero World Challenge.

“I was very shocked when I reinjured it,” Spieth said.

“I was reaching for a toaster to make my son breakfast, and I was just supporting it on the shelf. It just made no sense because I’m like, ‘What’s going to prevent this from happening at any other point in time?’ And now I’m [going to be] out two-plus weeks, so I feel good about that not being the case going forward.”

Spieth initially injured his at the Wells Fargo Championship in early May and had to play through the pain a couple of weeks later at Oak Hill.

“It ended up being a nerve thing, which is nice because I wasn’t doing anything either time that I hurt it that should have caused what happened,” Spieth added.

“Both MRIs were very similar. I shouldn’t have been in pain and lacked mobility like I had initially after it happened. It didn’t make a whole lot of sense off the MRIs, so then I did a bunch of tests and some work. It turns out it was my ulnar nerve, which is nothing to mess with, so I’ve been trying to take it very carefully.”

The ulnar nerve helps a person move their forearm, hand, and some fingers, an essential body part for anyone, let alone a golfer. It extends from the shoulder all the way to the palm, which helps explain why Spieth did not play competitively anywhere this fall.

Yet, he indicated that he and his team had resolved the issue.

Spieth feels good and is ready to compete again, and he will have “no reservations” in the Bahamas.

The three-time major champion last won the Hero World Challenge in 2014, a mere months before his triumph at Augusta National and his thrilling victory at the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay.
