What time is Tiger Woods playing? How to watch Genesis Invitational 2024 live today
Tiger Woods will make his first appearance of 2024 at the Genesis Invitational as the action gets underway this afternoon.
The 48-year-old was out for much of last year, after undergoing ankle surgery following the Masters in April, and he did not return until December when he finished 18th out of players at the Hero World Challenge.
Woods, who launched a new clothing line on Monday, hosts this week’s tournament at Riviera Country Club and it marks the latest stage in his comeback, after taking the final exemption into the field for the PGA Tour Signature Event.
A $20million total purse is on offer in California, with the winner taking home $4m. Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland are among those in the 70-man field.
That will be cut slightly after 36 holes, with the top 50 and all those within ten shots of the lead making it through to the weekend.

Who will caddie for Tiger Woods?
Woods’ long-time caddie Joe LaCava is now on the bag of Patrick Cantlay, leaving the 15-time major champion with a position to fill.
Rob McNamara, vice president of Woods’ brand TGR Ventures, got the call-up for the Hero World Challenge in December, while Woods’ daughter Sam filled the role at the PNC Championship.
Veteran caddie Lance Bennett will be on the bag for Woods this week, having previously worked with the likes of Matt Kuchar and Sungjae Im. It is not expected to necessarily be a permanent role.
