Tiger to tee it up at Genesis Invitational
Tiger Woods will make his 2024 debut at The Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club, which begins play Feb. 15, he announced Wednesday.

Woods made his return from ankle surgery in the spring to play at the Hero World Challenge and the PNC Championship in December. He stated then that his goal was to play one tournament per month in 2024 and mentioned The Genesis and The Players Championship as possibilities before major championship season gets underway in April.
Riviera hasn't historically been kind to Tiger, though. He's never won in 14 appearances at the venue and finished T45 at the tournament in 2023.
The event will also mark Woods' first tournament since parting ways with Nike in January.
The Genesis Invitational is organized by the Tiger Woods Foundation, so he'll serve as host in addition to competing in the event.
