Alabama legend [autotag]Justin Thomas[/autotag] will be back on the links this weekend as he will be taking part in the Genesis Invitational at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, CA. However, the real news is that Thomas will be paired with Gary Woodland and Tiger Woods on Thursday and Friday.
In 2023, Woods only appeared in three tournaments so all eyes will be on the trio. To add to the buzz, it will also be Tiger’s first tournament since ending his partnership with Nike and he will be unveiling his new brand ‘Sun Day Red’. The three are currently slated to tee off at 9:25 a.m. local time.
A year ago, the winner was John Rahm who will enter this year’s contest as one of the favorites again. The tournament also has a purse of $20 million, so it is one of the more lucrative weekends on the PGA Tour.
Thomas is off to a great start to begin the 2024 campaign with a top-three finish at the American Express, a top-six finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and T-12 last week at the Waste Management Open.
Where the stars shine brightest.
