LOS ANGELES—Tiger Woods feels good enough to play at Riviera, his first tournament with a cut and without a cart since the British Open last July.“I would not have put myself out here if I didn’t think I could beat these guys,” Woods said Tuesday ahead of the Genesis Invitational, which has attracted 19 of the top 20 players in the world.
Woods can play. The question is whether he can compete, whether he can win. He remains at 82 career Professional Golfers Association Tour titles, a record he shares with Sam Snead, who was 67 when he made the cut at a PGA Championship. He played that ambassador role last year at the Genesis Invitational as the tournament host. He also is leading the private player meetings geared toward building a new PGA Tour model of elite tournaments as a response to Saudi-funded LIV Golf.back of the press room in the Riviera clubhouseJustin Rose watched in December as Woods played with his son at the PNC Championship, riding in a cart. Woods has been saying he can hit all the shots, that it’s walking to them that makes it difficult.
He prepared for Riviera—and the Masters, and whatever else can follow—with a more graduated practice of hitting golf balls, walking the course until he became tired, and then walking a little more until he could get in 18 holes.Expectations have run the gamut during his incomparable career. He once went two whole months in 2001 without winning, and the cover of a golf magazine said, “What’s wrong with Tiger?” He went on to win his next three starts, including the Masters.
