The Bahamas Stage: A Tropical Backdrop for an Elite Golf Tradition

Albany Golf Course and the story behind the setting

The Hero World Challenge has found its paradise in Albany, Bahamas—a luxury resort community co-founded by Tiger Woods and a group of world-renowned athletes and entrepreneurs. Its location alone offers an atmosphere that few other events can match: turquoise waters, ocean breezes, and a course designed for drama.

Albany Golf Course, a championship layout by Ernie Els, is equal parts beauty and challenge. With its rolling dunes, strategic bunkering, and coastal wind patterns, it’s the perfect test for the world’s best.

The tournament itself began in 1999, founded by Tiger Woods as a way to bring together elite talent while supporting his TGR Foundation. Since then, it has grown in stature while retaining its unique, intimate format—featuring a limited field of 20 top-ranked players competing in a no-cut format over four days.

What makes Albany and the Hero World Challenge stand out isn’t just the scenic location. It’s the access. Spectators enjoy close-up views of every swing, making it one of the most engaging PGA TOUR experiences for fans and guests alike.

In fact, several champions of this tournament have used it as a launching pad into major seasons, setting the tone with confidence and form.
