Back in action, Tiger Woods isn’t just the host of this week’s Genesis Invitational, he’s seeking a record-breaking 83rd victory on the PGA Tour in the tournament. This will be Woods’ third start of the 2019-’20 tour season after a win at the Zozo Championship last October and a T-9 finish at the Farmers Insurance Open in January. A year ago, Woods finished T-15 at Genesis. Of all of the courses in which Woods has played at least four times during his professional career, Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif., is the only place where he hasn’t won.
This is the first year that the tournament will be played as an invitational, with 120 players teeing off this week. J.B. Holmes is the defending champion. Last year, he won by one stroke over Justin Thomas after shooting a final round.
Along with Woods and Holmes, this is looking to be a pretty stacked field, including the top five players in the world—Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, Thomas, and Dustin Johnson—and nine of the top 10 (the only one missing is Webb Simpson).
This year’s winner will collect 500 FedEx Cup points and a $1.674 million cut of the $9.3 million purse.
