2019 Genesis Open tee times, viewer's guide

The PGA Tour makes the last stop of its annual West Coast Swing this week at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Ca., for the Genesis Open, hosted by the Tiger Woods foundation. Woods will be back in action this week, making his first start since Torrey Pines.
Riviera holds special meaning for Woods as the site of his first career start on the PGA Tour in 1992, when he missed the cut as a 16-year-old high school sophomore. He's played Riviera numerous times since, but, amazingly, none of his 14 wins in the state of California have come in the event. Though he has come close over the years, finishing runner-up twice (1998, 1999), T-5 in 2003 and T-7 in 2004. Last year, in his first start at Riviera since 2006, Woods missed the cut.
This year, he looks to make the weekend alongside the same duo he played with here in 2018, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas. The super group tees off on Thursday at 3:22 p.m. ET, and they all hope to get off to a better start than they did last year, when they combined to shoot one under par as a trio in the opening round. McIlroy grabbed headlines that week for his comments the craziness of a Tiger crowd, something he'll be dealing with again on Thursday and Friday this week.
Other marquee names in the field include Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Adam Scott, Phil Mickelson and Jordan Spieth. Bubba Watson, who has won this event three times in the last five years, will also tee it up alongside Dustin Johnson, who won here in 2017.
TV Schedule
The Golf Channel will carry live coverage on Thursday and Friday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET, as well as Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. CBS will take over on the weekend beginning at 3 p.m.
