Here we go, 2018 is officially the year of Tiger. He’s BACK, he’s finally fully healthy, he made his triumphant return back in November at his small tournament in the Bahamas where he actually held a lead for a minute, and now he’s ready to make his PGA return in 2018.
There were some questions about which tournament Tiger would pick for his return to the PGA and we got those answers today straight from the source. The first one will be in just a few weeks at the Farmer’s Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, followed by the Genesis Open at Riviera.
Excited to start my season off in SoCal at @FarmersInsOpen and @genesisopen. https://t.co/TaX9wjAeFN

Here’s a statement he made about playing in the Genesis Open
Tiger Woods announced today that he will play in the 2018 Genesis Open to be held February 12-18 at The Riviera Country Club. The 2018 Genesis Open will be Woods’ first tournament at Riviera since 2006.
“I’m very excited to be back at Riviera,” Woods said. “I haven’t played at Riviera in a tournament in a very long time. To be able to play in an event that I used to come to as an amateur, as a junior and now as the tournament host, that is on one of the most historic sites in all of golf, it’s a dream come true.”
Woods, most recently played in the Hero World Challenge where he finished 8-under in the elite 18-player field. The Hero World Challenge was Woods’ first tournament following nearly 10 months away from competitive golf. He shot 69-68-75-68 (280) as he tied for ninth.
Good news for Tiger is it looks like he’s planning on playing a full PGA schedule this year, the bad news is that means he’ll have to take some time off from spear fishing.
