The Genesis Invitational isn’t your typical golf tournament for Tiger Woods. The course at Riviera Country Club is where the legend made his golf debut back in 1992, and it’s now organized by the Tiger Woods Foundation.
So it’s fitting that the 15-time major champion is making his 2023-24 PGA Tour season debut at the links in Los Angeles. Woods is set to compete in the 2024 edition of the Genesis Invitational, an event he has yet to win.
Woods has not played in an official tournament since the 2023 Masters, where he managed make the Saturday cut but was forced to withdraw from the competition due to injury. After undergoing ankle surgery, it’s been a long road to recovery for the 48-year-old, but he is ready to try and add a Genesis title to his résumé.
“It’s been an ongoing process,” Woods said of his recovery. “How the body feels from day to day and the grind of trying to practice and get ready for an event, just the overall just aging process of it all, that has been the trick of it and been the challenge of it … [I’m] trying to get used to the new feels of the body. That’s always the challenge.”
Woods has twice finished as the runner-up at Riviera. He placed second in back-to-back years, losing to Billy Mayfield in 1998 and Ernie Els in 1999 (Ernie Els). Now, he’ll have to bring back some of that old Tiger magic in his first pro event in over 10 months.
Here’s how and when Woods is playing at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles this week.
