Golf-Woods to play next week's PGA Tour event at Riviera

Tiger Woods will make his first competitive start of 2024 at next week's Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club, the 15-times major winner said on Wednesday.

Woods, who will serve as a player-host for the Feb. 15-18 PGA Tour event that benefits his foundation, announced his decision on social media.

The 48-year-old Woods returned to professional golf at the Hero World Challenge at the end of November after sitting out most of 2023 while recovering from right ankle surgery.
