Woods is tournament host for the annual event in the Bahamas, but he is not in the announced field. This year’s event will be Nov. 30 to Dec. 3 in Albany.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will be there. Two-time defending champ Viktor Hovland is returning as well. The newcomers include 2023 U.S. Open champ Wyndham Clark and 2023 Open Championship winner Brian Harman.

There are 11 U.S. Ryder Cuppers competing as well as three from the victorious European side in the 20-man field.
