Tiger Woods is to make his return to competitive golf at the Genesis Invitational next week after a seven-month absence.
Woods, 47, has not competed since missing the cut at the British Open in July, but will return for the event run by his foundation at The Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles.
He’s committed to playing in Pacific Palisades, which will mark his first non-major PGA Tour start since October 2020.
Woods, who returned to competition last year on a limited basis following a 2021 car crash which required emergency surgery that still hampers his ability to walk, announced his return to action with a short Twitter post on Friday.
“I’m ready to play an ACTUAL PGA Tour event next week at the Genesis Invitational,” he wrote.
The 15-time major winner has struggled with injuries relating to the crash ever since it happened in February two years ago.
He made a surprise return last year at the Masters, finishing 47th, but suffered a further setback late in the year after being diagnosed with a plantar fasciitis.
Woods has indicated he aims to play a limited schedule built around the majors as he manages his health.
