Tiger Woods and the 2024 Genesis Invitational:Â Sunday tee times, TV coverage, viewer's guide
Michael Owens
Perhaps you’ve heard the big news. Charley Hoffman, Grayson Murray, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Kevin Yu and Matthieu Pavon will be teeing off this week at the Genesis Invitational after clinching spots through the Aon Swing 5.
Also, Tiger Woods is was back.
The 15-time major champion teed off on the PGA Tour for the first time since his Masters third-round WD last April. An ankle injury with surgery to follow sidelined Woods for most of the year, but the TaylorMade man is playing host (and golf) at this year’s Genesis. Or was until Friday afternoon, when Woods withdrew from the tournament due to illness. It was a disappointment for fans, and an anxious one for Tiger as an ambulance was called to the clubhouse to administer first aid. He eventually left the course on his own after receiving an IV for apparant dehydration and flu-like symptons.
The PGA Tour's third signature event of the season continues, however, and boasts a $20 million purse with one of the strongest fields of the budding year. Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa, Brian Harman and Ludvig Åberg are all still on hand at Riviera Country Club, each having made the 36-hole cut and looking for a nice early-season win … and a $4 million first-place prize money payout.
Last year’s winner (and three-time Genesis victor) Jon Rahm is not be partaking in this year’s festivities, because of, well, yeah, his jump to LIV Golf. He won the 2023 event with a 17-under score, besting Max Homa by two shots. The Spaniard will be there in spirit, but certainly not in person.
The winner will receive 700 FedEx Cup points and that $4 million share of the $20 million purse.
