Genesis Invitational - Tiger Woods, Jon Rahm and more to watch

19.02.2023 - 05:27 espn.com

LOS ANGELES — When the idea of a PGA Tour designated event first originated, it might have been difficult to dream up a better reality than the one that has played out through three days at the Genesis Invitational.

With 23 of the top 25 players in the world in attendance, five of the 10 best in the world are inside the top 10 as we head to the final day at Riviera Country Club — a setting that both Collin Morikawa and Max Homa said was one of the best courses «on Tour» and «on the planet.» Yet the star-studded field has been outshined, in some ways, by the return of Tiger Woods to professional golf.

Woods not only made the cut on the number, he proceeded to stitch together a marvelous round of 4-under 67 on Saturday that has him tied for 26th.

The tournament host finds himself 12 shots behind the leader, Jon Rahm, who continues to show why he's been the best player in the world so far this season.

Woods admits return to golf 'more difficult' than he let on

Tiger Woods admitted his return to top-level golf was physically harder than he let on after a final round of 73 in the Genesis Invitational. Woods suffered multiple fractures of his right leg and ankle in a car accident in Los Angeles two years ago and has resigned himself to playing only a handful of events a year for the rest of his career. The 15-time major winner showed glimpses of his brilliance at Riviera, particularly during a third round of 67, but found it difficult to walk 18 holes for five days in succession in his first event without the use of a cart since last summer's Open Championship.
