Tiger Woods commits to play 2024 Genesis Invitational at Riviera

“Excited to be a playing host next week.”

Tiger Woods will make his first PGA Tour start of 2024 next week at the Genesis Invitational.

The 15-time major champion took to social media Wednesday morning and announced he’ll be teeing it up alongside the game’s best at Riviera Country Club.

“Excited to be a playing host next week,” his post read.

In 14 starts at Riv, Tiger has made 10 cuts and finished inside the top 25 eight times (three of which were top 10s). His best outing came in 1999 when he finished second.

Tiger last played alongside his son Charlie at the PNC Championship in Orlando in December. His last official Tour start was the 2023 Masters.

The Genesis Invitational is the third signature event of 2024, but unlike the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, it will feature a 36-hole cut. The total purse is $20 million with $4 million going to the winner.

Tiger Woods teases announcement coming Monday of Genesis Invitational

What does Tiger have up his sleeve?

You had our curiosity, Tiger. Now you have our attention.

When Tiger Woods speaks, people listen. When he posts on social media, people react. His latest post, which came Tuesday morning, was a tease to what one can guess is a big announcement coming Monday of the Genesis Invitational, Woods’ event and the final of five on the PGA Tour’s West Coast Swing at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.

“The vision remains the same. 2.12.24” the post reads.

But what is it in reference to? It could be a multitude of things, including a tease at what Woods’ next clothing brand will be.

Nike and Tiger split as partners after 27 years last month. Since then, there has been plenty of speculation about what apparel Woods will don when he tees it up next, which is expected next week. Some of the speculation relates to a trademark filing “Sunday Red” from TaylorMade.

There are no logos visible in the image posted to social media, so it wouldn’t be a shock to see the announcement have something to do with apparel.

Next week is expected to be Woods’ first time playing since the Hero World Challenge in December, where he finished 18th out of 20 players at even par for the week.
