The 2024 Hero World Challenge format remains unchanged this year, with the PGA Tour event played at Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas.
The 2024 Hero World Challenge field is 20 players.
The Hero World Challenge field is made up of players who get in off the PGA Tour's eligibility criteria for this event, with players having to be in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking by a cut-off date.
Hero World Challenge format
The Hero World Challenge format is a 72-hole stroke-play event. The field is divided into twosomes for each round.
In the first round, a random draw was used to determine the 10 twosomes. After the first round, pairings will be based on total prior score.
A cut is not made in this event, and all players who qualify for the tournament are eligible to finish the event.
For the third and fourth rounds, the pairings and tee times are made based on each player's total score through two and three rounds, respectively. Players with the highest total score go first, then in descending order until the two players with the lowest total score in the final group.
The player with the lowest total score after 72 holes is the winner and will earn the winner's share of the purse.
The winning player will earn approximately 31 Official World Golf Ranking points.
Hero World Challenge playoff format
A playoff to settle any ties after 72 holes will be played under PGA Tour rules. The Hero World Challenge playoff format is a sudden-death format, with playoff holes being 18 played repeatedly by any qualifying players. Hero World Challenge playoff competitors compete hole-by-hole until a winner is determined by a player scoring the lowest among the remaining players.
