Tiger Woods is committed to compete at the 2024 Genesis Invitational Open this week. The tournament is a Signature PGA Tour event, which is hosted by the ace golfer.
It will take place from February 15 to 18 at the Riviera Golf Course. The tournament has a purse of $20 million, with the winner receiving a check of $4 million. It will feature a stellar field of 71 golfers, who will compete in four rounds in a stroke-play format game.

The renowned golfer is supposedly going to reveal his new clothing brand during the conference, which is already creating headlines. The conference is slated to take place on Monday, February 12.
