Tiger Woods has just confirmed that he will play in the Genesis Invitational next weekend despite suffering the loss of his mother earlier this week.
The tournament, which Woods is the host of, has moved locations due to the Los Angeles wildfires, but it is still on the schedule, and Woods is officially in the field now.
It was long expected that Woods would play. It’s his event and one of the few (and the only non-Major) tournaments he appeared in last year before having to undergo surgery on his back.
“Tournament host Tiger Woods is committed to play in the 2025 Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines,” wrote The Genesis Invitational on X to confirm Tiger Woods’ participation.
However, it wasn’t confirmed. Given his health, he can’t commit to frequent appearances on Tour. Then his mother passed away, throwing another wrench into his potential availability, but the legendary PGA Tour star has confirmed that he will play despite all the challenges and the recent setback.
The tournament is slated to take place on the South Course at Torrey Pines Golf Course instead of Riviera on February 13-16. It is the third Signature Event of the 2025 PGA Tour season which began in January.
