Gulf Today
|December 09, 2025
Japan's Hideki Matsuyama outlasted Alex Noren of Sweden in a one-hole playoff to win the Hero World Challenge on Sunday at Albany Golf Course in The Bahamas.

Both players closed with sparkling 8-under-par 64s to finish regulation tied at 22-under 266 before Matsuyama ended it with a laser-tight birdie on the extra hole.
In the playoff, Matsuyama hit a 9-iron that landed a couple of feet from the flag on the 18th hole. Noren had a 20-foot putt that slid left, and Matsuyama tapped in for the title.
When asked what his best shot of the tournament was, Matsuyama had a straightforward answer: the second shot in the playoff.
"Couldn't make (a) birdie putt on 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18," Matsuyama said through an interpreter. "So we decided (to) go right at it."
