Woods commits to return at relocated Genesis

Tiger Woods will play his first professional golf tournament in seven months when he tees it up at the Feb 13-16 Genesis Invitational, which has been relocated to Torrey Pines because of the Los Angeles wildfires.

The 15-time Major champion's participation was in question after the death of his mother, Kultida, on Feb 4. But it was confirmed on Feb 7 that he has committed to play in the event that he hosts.

It will be Woods' first appearance in a non-Major on the PGA Tour since he played the Genesis in February 2024, withdrawing after one round because of illness.

He went on to finish 60th at the Masters and missed the cut in the year's other three Majors, as he struggled to recover between rounds because of back trouble and leg injuries from a 2021 car crash that continue to hamper him.

His last start was at the British Open in July.
