00:00 The PGA Tour is back at Riviera Country Club outside of Los Angeles for the Genesis Invitational.
00:06 The third of eight signature events. It means a small field, a small cut to be made here this
00:13 week at Riviera and Tiger Woods is back for the first time since withdrawing for the Masters last
00:20 April. Tiger will be playing in an official event. He obviously played in the Bahamas in December,
00:26 an unofficial event, his own Hero World Challenge where he finished 18th out of 20 players
00:31 and expressed some optimism about this year trying to play once a month. This is the first start.
00:36 Looks like he might try to play every month now through the major championships.
00:40 Riviera has always been a bit of a tough place for Tiger. It's the venue he's played the most
00:46 with no victories which is somewhat unusual given that he grew up in this area. This is his home.
00:51 He knows this type of course, these type of greens, but Riviera is always sort of flummoxed Tiger and
00:56 yet he's back. We'll see exactly how he looks. How much has he been able to put into his game
01:01 in the winter? How much preparation has he made? Obviously a lot going on in the world of golf.
01:06 The eyes on Tiger Woods this week here at the Genesis Invitational.
