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.
