CNN —Tiger Woods will make his first competitive start of the year at the Genesis Invitational next week, the 15-time major winner announced on social media Wednesday.
Woods, chasing his first PGA Tour win since his record-equaling 82nd triumph at the Zozo Championship in October 2019, said he was “excited” to compete in an Instagram post announcing his participation on Wednesday.
Woods celebrates his most recent PGA Tour victory at the 2019 Zozo Championship in Inzai, Japan.
The duo finished tied-fifth out of 20 teams formed of past major or Players Championship winners and a family member at the Ritz-Carlton Club, six shots behind the winning pairing of Bernhard Langer and his son Jason.
The Players Championship, dubbed ‘the fifth major,’ tees off in March, while The Masters begins the major calendar in April.
