The current champion is Viktor Hovland having won last year's Hero World Challenge title as he beat Scottie Scheffler in a playoff round.
The 2022 Hero World Challenge will feature Hovland along with six major winners who have won a total of 10 major championships.
Hovland, Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Matt Fitzpatrick, Sam Burns, Jordan Spieth and Tony Finau will headline the tournament.
Woods was scheduled to participate but withdrew a few days before the event, citing a foot injury and the tournament purse for the limited field event is $3.5 million.

"In preparation and practice for this week's Hero World Challenge, I've developed plantar fasciitis in my right foot, which is making it difficult to walk," Woods said in a statement on Monday.
"After consulting with my doctors and trainers, I have decided to withdraw this week and focus on my hosting duties.
"My plan is still to compete in The Match and PNC Championships."
Woods is the most decorated golfer in the history of the Hero World Challenge with five titles since the tournament's formation in 2000.
