Tiger Woods will not play in next week’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas as he recovers from his sixth back surgery, which he underwent in September. Woods stated that the 20 fields will be filled with Justinto Mus, Nick Danglup, and Jasonde for his celebration tournament by announcing that he will not play on a social network.
Scotti Sheffler is the current champion. Woods is unlikely to play in the Bahamas after revealing on Sept. 13 that he had undergone another lower back operation — his sixth in 10 years — which he hoped would ease some of the spasms he has been experiencing this year. He explained that it was a lumbar microdecompression procedure for a pinched nerve, and recovery typically takes eight to 12 weeks. Woods said he was disappointed not to be able to play, but was looking forward to his role as tournament host. Woods finished 18 in the field 20 years ago.

A first for Dunlap, who played in an unofficial tournament that earns world ranking points but no official prize money, he won a PGA Tour event as an amateur, then left Alabama to turn pro and win a second time.

At the Hero World Challenge a year ago, Woods spoke of his desire to play in a major every month. But he left after the round in Ribiera and no longer played for two months. After a year, he finished only 11 laps. He set a master record, continued 24th in a row, and Woods missed the cup with the other three major.
