The Riviera Country Club will once again play host to the PGA TOUR’s best as The Genesis Invitational tees off this week. 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 is the host this week but will also be in the field. This will be his first start since the Masters Tournament 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 injury. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler returns to action after a strong finish in last week’s WM Phoenix Open. He claimed T3 in his attempt to become the first player to three-peat on the PGA TOUR since Steve Stricker in 2009-11. Scheffler finished 12th at The Genesis last season. Rory McIlroy is set to make just his second TOUR start in 2024 after a T66 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. This will be McIlroy’s eighth start at Riviera. He finished 29th last season and claimed a career-best of fourth at Riviera in 2019. Others to look out for are Viktor Hovland, Max Homa, Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele.

Oh yeah next on the from H but as you said Craig this From the Rough you can’t go out this hole yeah a little fivewood there just chopping at it and that one took a wicked bounce to get way over the green at least from so take you back to his third at
Part five first tricky little chip to stop amazing such little golf can still have all right so a good up and down for Tiger Woods here at the first and just like that he is minus one in his first start here in 2024 Tigers starting this one at the middle portion of the
Green so that one does climb up onto the green and now here it comes that was so wise he just decided to hit the cut up against the the Tilt knowing three was a great score and the Exquisite execution got a chance for a two December obviously couple of times but last
Official event the Masters last year this I mean to do this at the fourth come on yeah it’s it’s the hottest part three you ever going to see we’re here on day one familiar swing familiar stroke familiar Wars we’ll see him finish up his opening round this afternoon track band technology is
Presented by Titus the number one ball and golf well that one certainly is properly flighted as he goes by wood 255 yds wind helping just a little bit off the left that was over by the people and left of the green going to leave a very difficult up and down for his birdie
Here at the 11 he’s got an okay lie high and soft oh boy that was a foot from perfect if it would have landed on The Fringe instead of the rough first it would have hopped right down to the hole and I think that’s what tiger was trying to do with
The putter from off the green at [Applause] 11 really high down that left side should be good cutting back towards the middle job well done there very high cutting towards it needs to stay left that front right bunker wow a tiger is the third player just the third player so far [Applause] today
That ball he’s a slow down of the mle that’s been the mistake he’s been making most of the day running those putts a little bit too far by and the birdie put okay back to even [Applause] par oh hello guys yeah uh-huh that caught hle yep wow right away pretty darn special right
There now the gallery can cheer it’s not exactly a big gap trying to hit a little hook low hook and it’s got to get up cuz he’s got to get over those bunkers [Applause] bogy at the last for Woods here but lot of good from that round 72 one over tiger great to see you back out here it was uh wonderful to see you interact with the fans and the experience from your perspective how would you assess your round uh uh my
Round was good and a little bit indifferent um I had some I struggled with the speed of the greens even though I made a few um they were they were a lot faster than I’d ever seen Riviera before um and also I didn’t feel like I
I hit a lot of greens today uh missed a lot and was stressing out on the on the short game I mean I had uh maybe what five five pars today or something like that something stupid um it was making either birdes or Bogies and it it was
Good and little bit indiff mhm every round comes with its ups and downs you did have a bit of a challenge there on 18 walk us through what happened there on the second shot and then how you were able to find a window on the third well
My back spasmed on it it’s it’s been spasming the last like three holes and uh it just locked up on me and uh didn’t move didn’t rotate and uh presented hle first well you mentioned the back spaz in I know as soon as we uh finished our
Conversation you’re going to go and cool down how’s the body feeling overall and what does tonight look like again uh we got uh some ahead of us and some um some work to do uh to be ready for tomorrow but that’s just part of the deal and uh

Just go away ..doing drugs …DUI .car crashes beating his x wife ..go away loser
Tiger is looking fresh in all white toe to shoulder. 😎
Nice Rory
left side is messed up. Thats why he's hitting fades, He can't rotate. All that force is going to go into his hip and back. He's done. The only way he'll ever play on the weekends is in no-cut tournaments. Notice how he's got the excuses going already.
Not Gon Na make it to Sun Day
The game is somewhat there, hope his back gets sorted .
Looks and sounds like there is a lot physical prep, and rehab following.. amazing what he's prepared to go through
If only his health was good and not physically compromised..he would still be winning tournaments..sad to see how he is struggling..he still has it in him..just needs a bionic back..
He's still one of the best in the world, but what makes me concerned is that he seems ok with being near the very bottom of the board. Hopefully it's just part of the process, but I'd rather have the Tiger that expects to win every tournament he enters.
❤ 🐅
If he would have been even par on the par 4's today, he would be right in the thick of it.
He said his back went out for a second during the hozzle shot. He needs to stretch more and drink more water. First time back in a year, I'd say he is off to a fine start. I hope he keeps his body happy. Only Tiger can beat Tiger.
Nothing like a highlight package for a guy 8 off the lead
Great to see him back
I deal with the same back spasms every shot…
It doesnt matter what he scores, its always magical to see Tiger Woods on the golfcourse!!!
he is a good average golfer now. His best days are over. Hes embarrassing himself. Hes not the dominate player he once was. He wont win a major ever again. Pack it in.
An amazing golfer, and he was so polite in the interview as well.
💯everyone is thinking it…..let's get this done……no excuses…..Steve Williams……let's gooo…❤💯
im only watching because hes playing to be honest….so kool to see him playing
For Tiger’s back spasms, don’t they have a heat pad, heated tape, he can wear during the round to alleviate the back pain. Relax the muscles in his back.
Lol…..any votes yes
I want to see the whole thing, not just the good shots.
3:50 ONE OF US, ONE OF US
That shot to follow up the shank was incredible
