Watson, Kirk Set For Hero World Challenge

Bubba Watson and Chris Kirk will be two members of the 16-man Hero World Challenge this weekend at Isleworth Golf and Country Club in Windermere, Fla.

Kirk will tee off with Billy Horschel at 11:55 a.m. Thursday, while Watson will compete at 12:25 p.m. with Rickie Fowler.

Since its inception in 1996, the Tiger Woods Foundation has raised more than $80 million to support students at every stage of their academic careers through dedicated mentors, professional development workshops and internships. Now in its 16th year, the Hero World Challenge has contributed $25 million of that alone.

Watson also used the event as a way to confirm a rumor that's been swirling around.
