The Genesis Invitational is the first of three player-hosted invitationals (along with the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard and Jack Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament presented by Workday). Tiger Woods not only is the host this week, but he also will tee it up.

This will be his first start in an official PGA Tour event since last year’s Masters. Tournament host Woods returns to action on the PGA Tour for the first time since the Masters in 2023 – where he withdrew after the third round. Last season’s Genesis Invitational was his last full four-round effort on the PGA Tour before he was sidelined due to injury for the remainder of the season.
