Tiger Woods made his 2024 PGA Tour season debut at The Genesis Invitational on Thursday.

The 15x Major winner carded a 1-over 72 at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, to sit eight back of early leader Patrick Cantlay. The ace golfer shared T49 with 10 others, including Ben Griffin, Chris Kirk, Justin Thomas and Adam Scott.

Woods will resume his Genesis Invitational outing on Friday, Feb. 16, at 2:54 pm. Much like in round 1, Justin Thomas and Gary Woodland will join him on the first tee. The trio will follow the grouping of event leader Cantlay, Jordan Spieth and Tom Kim.

It's pertinent to note that Tiger Woods is marking his return to an official Tour event after 10 months on the sidelines.

The 48-year-old, who only managed a T45 finish in the competition last year, looks happy to be back. However, the 82x PGA Tour winner’s injury woes don’t seem to go away.

Woods shocked many with a brutal shank on No. 18 on Thursday. Following the round, the ace golfer claimed that his ‘back spasmed’ at the time, leading to the shank. He said that the spasm happened through the last three holes but seemed confident and ready to continue the outing on Friday.

With a large fan support at the Riviera, it will be interesting to see how the former World No.1 fares in the second round of The Genesis Invitational.
