For the first time since Open British in July, Tiger Woods is back in action on a golf course.
Woods, 49, is committed to playing 18 holes on Friday at Genesis Invitational in Torrey Pines.
It will be the first time that Woods will have been in competition because it has had a microdiscectomy in September to relieve the pain in his legs. It was the sixth operation he suffered in the lower back.

It is also the first time that Woods will have been playing since the loss of her mother, Kultida Woods, who died on Tuesday at the age of 80.
Normally, the Genesis Invitational is at the Riviera Country Club, but the tournament was moved to Torrey Pines due to the forest fires that devastated the Los Angeles community.
Woods was very successful during his illustrious career in Torrey Pines, with eight victories on the public course alongside the Pacific Ocean.

Torrey Pines is the course where Woods finished last time in the top 10 at a PGA Tour event, while he was tied for the ninth at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2020.
There is no Cup at the Genesis Invitational, which means that Woods will walk during the four days, regardless of its performance.
The last time Woods played four rounds was in Masters from last year, when he broke the tournament record for most of the cuts made to the prestigious major with his 24th consecutive cup made.
