How many times has Tiger Woods won the Hero World Challenge?

The Hero World Challenge is a golf event hosted by legendary American golfer Tiger Woods. The event takes place in December with pro players.

All the profits earned from the championship have been added to the Tiger Woods Foundation. The event is scheduled as part of the PGA Tour but does not add any amount to the official money as the event is unofficial.

Tiger Woods has won five Hero World Challenge championships, while Graeme McDowell holds the second position with two trophies.

The championship was called the Williams World Challenge before it was renamed the Target World Challenge in 2002. It was then called the Chevron World Challenge and then again changed to the World Challenge in 2012 and was named the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge in 2013. Since 2014, the championship has been known as the Hero World Challenge.

Tiger Woods is slated to return to the golf course at next week's Hero World Challenge after a hiatus due to a devastating car accident in February 2021.

Woods last played at St. Andrews back in July. However, he is now finally returning to play the game. Tiger Woods is also set to play The Match on December 10, pairing up with Rory McIlroy to take on Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.

It is important to note that the 2022 Hero World Challenge is scheduled from November 28 to December 4 at the Albany Golf Course. Seventeen players will compete against each other to win a purse of $3.5 million.
