Tiger Woods will play in his first official PGA Tour event since his horrific 2021 car crash

This Friday Tiger Woods announced he’s ready to take on another golf course during a tournament next week when he takes part of the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club.

It will mark his first tournament start since he was reduced to tears as he likely bid farewell to anymore Opens at St. Andrews last July.

‘I’m finally ready to play an ACTUAL PGA Tour event next week,” Woods, now 47, said in a statement confirming his appearance.

Woods actually serves as the tournament host. It has been given elevated status, meaning players will be competing for a $20m purse.

It is the latest comeback in an illustrious career which has seen him win 82 PGA Tour titles, 15 major championships and inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Woods revealed at the end of 2022 that it was the challenging yet “most rewarding” year of his career.

He returned to professional golf at the 86th Masters after crashing his luxury SUV in February 2021.

The news that Woods will be playing at Riviera will be welcome news to golf fans, given that the 87th Masters is only a few months away.

Tiger Woods wrapped up his improbable return to competitive golf Sunday, finishing near the bottom of the leaderboard (13 over par) for players who made the cut at this weekend’s Masters Tournament.
For golf fans, however, just seeing Woods play the entire tournament at Augusta was a treat, and it raised the question of when he’ll play next.
Woods isn’t leaving the answer to the imagination. He was forthcoming after his final round as to when he’s likely to play again.
“I won’t be playing a full schedule ever again,” Woods said, per the PGA Tour’s Twitter account. “So it’ll be just the big events. I don’t know if I’ll play Southern Hills (site of the PGA Championship in May) or not.”
The PGA Championship will be played at Southern Hills from May 19-22. Five weeks would be an incredible turnaround given the toll Woods put on his body this weekend.
“I am looking forward to St. Andrews (site of this year’s British Open),” Woods said, “and so that’s something that is near and dear to my heart and I’ve won two Opens there . . . and it’s my favorite golf course in the world, so I will be there for that one. But anything in between that, I don’t know.”
This year’s British Open will run from July 14-17. Leading into the British Open, Woods is going to compete in the JP McManus Pro-Am. The dates for the Pro-Am are July 4-5. It will be Woods’ fourth appearance at the Pro-Am, where he notched a victory in 2000.
