Tiger Woods has no interest in being a ceremonial golfer. He showed Thursday at the Genesis Invitational that he’s not ready for that phase of his career, either.
Max Homa, who won the Farmers Insurance Open last month, and Keith Mitchell shared the top spot at 7 under, while Jon Rahm, who is No. 3 in the world rankings and has won four of his last eight worldwide starts, was a stroke back. But all eyes were on Woods during his first meaningful golf in seven months, and nearly two years after he nearly lost his right leg in a horrific single-car crash in Southern California just days after the 2021 Genesis.
Woods dazzled again on the 166-yard par-3 16th, with a baby cut that rolled to 5 feet for another easy birdie. One hole later, he made another, pouring in a 24-footer on the par-5 17th before he capped his round with one more, sinking an 8-footer on the last hole. Then, he made a mess of the course’s most notable hole, the drivable par-4 10th. After sending his tee shot into a bunker left of the green, he caught his pitch heavy and the ball didn’t reach the green. His chip from there bounded through the putting surface and into another bunker before he eventually sank an 8-foot putt to save bogey.
