“See you soon west coast.”
While many expected Tiger Woods to make his 2020 PGA Tour debut at Torrey Pines, the 15-time major champion made it official on Thursday morning.
Woods announced via his Twitter account that he’ll start the year at the Farmers Insurance Open, Jan. 23-26, at Torrey Pines, where he’s won eight times (seven Farmers Insurance Open wins and the 2008 U.S. Open).
After the Farmers, Woods will tee it up at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club, Feb. 13-16, where he’ll also serve as the tournament host. This year’s event is the Genesis’ first as an invitational.
“It’s an honor for us to be in the same category as Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer,” Woods said of The Genesis Invitational’s new status via a press release. “Those are two legends of the game. For us to have this type of elevation, all the things we want to have happen for the tournament are going to happen. On top of that, to be able to host the tournament each and every year at Riviera, where it all started for me, it’s come full circle.”
Woods made his PGA Tour debut at Riviera, playing as an amateur in 1992. Celebrating that history, ticket prices for this year’s event start at $19.92.
