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.

Tiger Woods shot-by-shot live updates from Saturday’s 2023 Masters third round at Augusta National

Woods is looking to tie the record for consecutive cuts made at Augusta National.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — If you can’t watch Tiger Woods during the third round of the 2023 Masters on Saturday afternoon, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

The 15-time major champion returned to Augusta National Golf Club this week with a pair of records on his mind, and he was able to achieve one of them. While Woods’ quest for a record-tying sixth green jacket took a hit on Thursday after a 2-over 74 in the opening round, his 1-over 73 in the second round was just enough to make the cut on the number and tie Gary Player and Fred Couples for the most consecutive made cuts in Masters history.

Woods, 47, has never missed the cut at the Masters as a professional since his debut in 1997 (he was low amateur in 1995 and missed the cut in 1996 as an amateur).

Woods will tee it up in the third round with Thomas Pieters and Sungjae Im at 1:06 p.m. ET off the 10th tee. Follow every shot Woods’ Saturday afternoon round below with shot-by-shot updates from Augusta National.
