Tiger Woods’ name is suddenly on the transfer list (video)

For the second straight year, Tiger Woods isn’t just the host of the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club; he’s also a competitor

Woods is one of 77 players who will tee it up starting Thursday with a first prize of $4 million up for grabs.

The annual tournament is now one of the PGA Tour’s Signature events, which feature smaller fields consisting of the game’s top players.

The field includes World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and Victor Hovland, as well as Southern California natives Max Homa, Collin Morikawa and Patrick Cantlay

Woods, an Orange County native, is making his 374th start on the PGA TOUR and is making his first start in an official event on TOUR since withdrawing from the 2023 Masters Tournament before completing the third round.

Woods has made 15 starts at The Genesis Invitational, the most of any tournament in his career without a victory, a fact that the 15-time major champion admitted on Wednesday bothers him immensely.
