Tiger Woods will make his 2024 PGA Tour season debut at The Genesis Invitational on Thursday. The 15x Major winner will join the 70-man field at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California. Woods will take his first tee on February 15 at 12:25 pm. The ace golfer will be joined by Justin Thomas and Gary Woodland.
For the unversed, Woods has been sidelined for most of 2023 due to injuries. The golfer, who suffered major injuries from his infamous single-car crash in Feb 2022, has been in and out of the PGA Tour ever since. Notably, the 48-year-old played The Genesis Invitational last year. He managed a T45 finish while Jon Rahm lifted the trophy.
It is pertinent to note that Tiger Woods was forced to withdraw from The Masters last year due to foot ailments. The Genesis Invitational will now mark his return to official events after 10 months on the Tour’s sidelines. The ace golfer, who looked strong in the practice rounds and the pro-am event held on Wednesday, said that his “ankle doesn't hurt anymore.”
The 82x PGA Tour winner further addressed the surgeries he went through and said that it’s been a long road to recovery. It is pertinent to note that Woods is a longshot favorite for The Genesis Invitational. According to SportsLine, he comes into the Riviera event with 150-1 odds.
