Following his recent announcement, Tiger Woods will participate in the Genesis Invitational tournament, hosted at the Riviera Country Club from February 16th to 19th, 2023.
“It’s always an honor and a privilege to play in front of the home crowd,” Woods said. “The Genesis Invitational is a special tournament for me, and I’m excited to be back.”
After winning the tournament in 2019, Woods had to withdraw from the 2022 event due to an injury. He is thrilled to be back and looking forward to showcasing his skills at the PGA Tour event.
As Tiger Woods prepares for the Open Championship at Royal St. George’s, he has unveiled three significant changes to his equipment setup.
The most notable update is the addition of a new driver to Woods’ bag. He will be using a TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver with a 10.5-degree loft. Woods has been testing the Stealth Plus for several weeks and is confident that it will give him the added distance and accuracy he needs to compete on the challenging links course.
He will also be using a new putter, switching from a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 to a TaylorMade Spider GT. The Spider GT features a larger head and a more stable design, giving Woods more confidence on the greens.
Additionally, Woods has made a minor adjustment to his irons. He has moved to TaylorMade P7TW irons, which are slightly more compact than his previous irons and offer more workability. Woods is known for his precision iron play, so this change should help him to dial in his approach shots.
