Tiger Woods set to compete at the 2023 Genesis Invitational

According to Golf Channel on Friday, Tiger Woods of Cypress, California is set to compete at the 2023 Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles, California from February 16-19. This will be his first PGA Tour event since participating at the 2022 British Open, an event won by Australia’s Cameron Smith.

Woods has never won the Genesis Invitational in his career. The closest he came was second place, a feat he accomplished in 1998 and again in 1999. In 1998, Woods had a four-round score of -12, but lost to Billy Mayfair of Phoenix, Arizona in a playoff. In 1999, Woods had a four-round score of -12 again, but this time lost out to four-time major champion Ernie Els of South Africa by two strokes. Els, who posted a four round score of -14. He won the 1994 and 1997 United States Open, and the 2002 and 2012 British Open.

Woods meanwhile has won 15 major titles himself. Only Jack Nicklaus of Columbus, Ohio has won more with 18. Woods’s major titles came at the 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2019 Masters, the 1999, 2000, 2006 and 2007 PGA Championship, the the 2000, 2002 and 2008 United States Open, and the 2000, 2005, and 2006 British Open.

Even though Woods has never finished first at the Genesis Invitational in years past, the tournament has significant meaning to him. This was his first PGA Tournament as an amateur. In 1992, he missed the cut by shooting a 36-round score of +4. The fact he was only 16 years old and playing against the world’s best was downright stunning and remarkable. The fact that Woods is playing at the Genesis Invitational is not a huge surprise when you consider the fact his own foundation is the tournament host.
