Tiger Woods commits to first PGA Tour event of 2025

You’re not going to have to wait long to see the GOAT back in action…

Tiger Woods has committed to his first event of the 2025 PGA Tour season.

Organisers of next week’s Genesis Invitational, a tournament hosted by 15-time major champion, announced Woods is in the field across social media.

This year’s Genesis Invitational will take place at Torrey Pines following the wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles – including areas close to regular host venue Riviera Country Club.

Woods made just five starts last year, which included the four majors as well as the Genesis, where he withdrew during the second round due to illness.

It is one of the few tournaments Woods has never won – though he does have a good track record at Torrey Pines, where he has won eight times as a pro – including the 2008 US Open – and once as a junior.

Woods has been back in action since his season-ending back surgery in September. He teamed up with his son, Charlie, at the PNC Championship in December, where they finished second, as well as representing Jupiter Links in the inaugural TGL season.

Before heading to California, Woods also teed up with Donald Trump in Florida ahead of the president attending the Super Bowl in New Orleans, where the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs.

Woods announced last week that his mother, Kultida, had passed away.

On the course, the question, once again, will be whether or not Woods can complete four rounds in a week – something he has only done twice since the car accident in 2021 that almost cost him his right leg.
