Woods returned to professional golf last December after missing most of 2023 recovering from right angle surgery.

Woods was attending the Genesis Invitational when he was involved in a car crash back in February 2021 that caused him to have major leg injuries.

This is set to be Woods' first event since his longtime partnership with Nike ended last month after 27 years.
