Tony Finau withdraws from field at 2024 Hero World Challenge

Big Tone isn’t going to play in the Hero World Challenge after he withdrew.

Tony Finau, No. 26 in the Official World Golf Ranking, won’t tee it up this week at Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas for Tiger Woods’ silly-season event. Finau hasn’t played since the Presidents Cup, where he went 2-2-0 in Team USA’s win.

No reason was given from Finau for the WD. Sepp Straka, who finished runner-up in 2023 to Scottie Scheffler, replaced Finau in the field.

Finau had five top-10 finishes in 22 starts during the 2024 season, making the Tour Championship. He didn’t win, though he did place T-2 at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, an event he was the defending champ at.

As Monday Q Info pointed out Monday morning on X, Finau is eligible but also is not listed on the initial entry list for the 2024 Sentry, the season-opening event at Kapalua in 2025.
