Scottie Scheffler will be eager to redeem himself by winning the 2022 Hero World Challenge after missing out on last year's title. 
 
The American star was the runner-up in last year's event behind winner Viktor Hovland who finished at 18 under par, one shot to secure the win.
 
Scheffler then enjoyed a very successful 2022 as he won his first four events on the PGA Tour - moving to the top of the Official World Golf Rankings in the process.

The New Jersey-born golfer won the WM Phoenix Open on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff against Patrick Cantlay in February.
 
Three weeks later, Scheffler claimed his second career PGA Tour title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational as he won by one stroke over Viktor Hovland, Billy Horschel and Tyrrell Hatton.
 
The 2022 PGA Tour Player of the Year then clinched the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in March and his maiden major title at the Masters Tournament in April.
 
Scheffler is currently ranked second on the Official World Golf Rankings and he will be keen to end the year with a victory at the Hero World Challenge.

Scheffler recently stated that he is not happy with the 11 LIV Golf players who have filed an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour. 
 
"I'm definitely curious to see what's going to happen," Scheffler told ESPN's Mark Schlabach. 
 
"It's one of those deals where those guys kind of made their decision to go join another tour and they broke the rules and regulations of our tour and now they're trying to sue us, which is definitely a bit frustrating. 
 
"I heard that was going to happen and I know some guys aren't surprised to see it, but I definitely am surprised to see some guys now suing us."
 
Tiger Woods is the most decorated golfer in the history of the Hero World Challenge with five titles since the tournament's formation in 2000.
