Shot-by-shot: Tiger Woods shoots 1-over 72 Thursday at 2024 Genesis Invitational

Everything you need to know from Tiger’s return to the PGA Tour at Riviera Country Club.

The Big Cat is back.

Tiger Woods returned to PGA Tour action on Thursday as the 15-time major champion made his 2024 debut at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club just outside of Los Angeles. Woods will do double duty as the tournament host of the $20 million signature event, which his TGR Foundation organizes.

The 82-time PGA Tour winner played both the Hero World Challenge and PNC Championship in the winter, but fans hadn’t seen Woods on the course in an official event since he withdrew from the 2023 Masters. In 14 previous starts at Riv, Tiger has one runner-up finish (1999) and just three top 10s. He finished T-45 last year.
