The 2023 Genesis Invitational got underway on Thursday as top stars on the PGA Tour are out in full force for this week's event in Pacific Palisades, California. The Tour's third designated event of its new playing calendar features 19 of the top 20 golfers in the world according to the Official World Golf Rankings. Among them are Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm -- the three men atop the world of golf right now. They will take a backseat, however, to the man who reigned supreme in the game for more than a decade: Tiger Woods.
The 15-time major winner is making his first regular PGA Tour start since the 2020 Zozo Championship, and he thrilled the crowd in attendance by finishing at 2 under after Round 1 on the heels of three straight birdies to finish his day.
Coincidentally, it was at the Zozo Championship the year prior that Woods tied Sam Snead for most victories on the PGA Tour with 82. Still stuck on this number, a confident Woods looks to shake off the rust at the very tournament his foundation hosts.
Californians Max Homa, Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele hope to continue their strong history at Riviera, while Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas will try to carry momentum from impressive finishes in Scottsdale. Patrick Cantlay, Will Zalatoris and Viktor Hovland will need to bounce back from recent struggles if they expect to contend at one of the best events of the season.
