LOS ANGELES — The field for this week's Genesis Invitational included 23 of the top 25 players in the world, including the top three — Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm — and nine of the top 10.

All but seven of those 23 players made the 36-hole cut and were still playing at Riviera Country Club on Saturday. Few of them were better in the third round than Tiger Woods, who came into the week ranked 1,294th in the world and hadn't played in an official PGA Tour event in more than seven months.

After making the 36-hole cut on the number, the 15-time major champion carded a 4-under 67 on Saturday to move to 3 under after 54 holes.

Woods, 47, was tied for 26th when he walked off the course after starting the round tied for 58th. Woods matched his lowest score to par in a round since he carded a 4-under 68 after 18 holes of the Masters in November 2020.
