Not anywhere. If modern golf had a Greta Garbo, it would be Tiger Woods. Mickey Wright was golf's ultimate Garbo, and Ben Hogan a close second. Arnold Palmer ...

For each person, that was there at the start, it was there in their professional middles, and it will be there at Tiger’s end, just as it was for Arnold. Along the way, he called Arnold “my hero.” That was a first for me, to hear Tiger say that. In this case, Tiger is the runner. But for here, let’s focus on the thing that connects Arnold and Tiger the most, their mutual love of competitive golf. He used the word “product” 10 times in the press conference, and he was referring to his Tour and the LIV “product” too. When Tiger played in his first one, in 1992, Nissan was the sponsor and Fred was the winner. The world would be a boring place if everybody thought about life, and approached life, the same way. In these situations, you must resort to the adage that the tie goes to the runner. 518 in the world. The first Tour event Tiger ever played was the L.A. A war of attrition on the way to Sunday night. Long before the Genesis Invitational was a so-called

His last finish at Riviera was a solo 68th in 2020. But he didn't waste another chance at the next finding the target from three feet as he well and truly heated up, first striping his drive down the middle of the fairway before striking a sweet iron shot right at the pin. After a beautiful chip to within feet of the pin, he holed out for birdie and a perfect start to the round. One-under through three, Woods sat down on an ice box by the side of the fourth tee box as he waited for the group ahead to finish playing the par-3 fourth. 'I'm there to get a W, OK? 'If I entered the event, it's always to get a W. Tiger!' before the golf legend took his first shot.

He had the chance to bounce back on the seventh, after sensational iron shot from a left side fairway bunker to give him a look at birdie, but the putt grazed the edge of the cup. Woods's tee shot just found the edge of the rough to the right of the fairway but came cleanly out with his second finishing just short of the green on the par-5 first.

A look at how Tiger Woods fared in the opening round of the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club.

Tiger Woods made his first official start since The Open Championship on Thursday at the Genesis Invitational. Ultimately, the front nine was mostly about making par for Woods. It was certainly a good start.

Tiger Woods' tempo has changed over the years, and you can still see the effects in his golf swing at the Genisis Open.

There was less of a pause between the backswing and downswing because it was less reliant on timing overall. As Tiger explains in the video below, his younger swing was one that relayed on good timing, and lots of distance. "The club was inside, across the line. But the book also explains that even though the ratio of Tiger Woods' swing stayed at the same 3-to-1 ratio, his tempo changed: Up until 1997, Young Tiger's swing moved at a Tour Tempo-recorded 27/9 rate: 27 frames on the backswing, and 9 on the downswing. Simply put, both Tiger's backswing and downswing have gotten faster, and that's the tempo he uses today. In the book, Novosel conducted a detailed analysis of the tempo of various different pros' golf swings, and established the now widely-accepted standard that pros swing the golf club at a 3-to-1 ratio, meaning that their backswings are three times longer than their downswing.

Playing his first round in a 72-hole tournament since the 2022 British Open, Woods showed some rust but also electrified packed galleries with strong play.

Woods’s best result since the crash was a tie for 38th at the In the 2021 car crash, Woods suffered so much damage to his legs that there was concern he might never walk again, let alone resume his professional golf career. Woods was scheduled to play in December at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, but he withdrew from the event because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Woods was paired with two of his closest friends on the tour, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas, and all three left the 18th smiling after making birdies. A terrific tee shot at the par-3 16th led to a birdie there, and Woods followed with a long putt at the par-5 17th that produced a roar — not to mention a signature fist pump — when it dropped for back-to-back birdies. Woods began his back nine by quickly getting into trouble at the tricky 10th, where he made the first of two bogeys over a three-hole stretch.

There were just as many positive and negative takeaways from Tiger Woods' PGA Tour return Thursday ... until he reached the final three holes.

The true test of his fitness and form will come Friday morning, where [Woods will be back on the course](https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2023/02/16/2023-genesis-invitational-friday-tee-times-tv-and-streaming-info/) alongside Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas at 10:24 a.m. [a single-car accident](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/2021/04/08/tiger-woods-crash-report-reveals-clues-his-condition-day/7151217002/) that nearly cost him his leg, Woods walked with ease for most of the round but began to labor a bit down the stretch. He left a few chips short, but his splash shots out of the bunker were textbook.

While a torrid start from Max Homa and Jon Rahm were the talk of the tournament early Thursday at the 2023 Genesis Invitational, it was how arguably the ...

His putting has kept him at level par, but it's starting to get chilly and I'm interested to see how his long game holds up coming to the house. Four holes to go to get it back to level or even under par. Nice move late in the day, and he's right on the probably cut line with 20 holes left before the cut is made. Keith Mitchell joins Max Homa at the top of the leaderboard with a 7-under 64. [pic.twitter.com/VfDTmuY2V0] [February 17, 2023] A 2-under 69 -- his first score of 2 under since the first round of the 2020 Masters, which was played in November. "Momentum is a big thing in sports, but if you put the effort that needs to be put in throughout the year and weeks off and at home and you do the little things right, you give yourself a better chance of never really hopefully feeling that," he said. It would be surprising if he wasn't in the mix late on Sunday. He is absolutely a problem for everyone involved, and if he somehow wins this week that would mean he lost to nine golfers in five PGA Tour events before the Florida swing. There's still a long way to go, but the caliber of golf he's playing -- positive strokes gained approach in his last eight starts -- combined with his history at Riv -- three consecutive top 10s -- make him a scary proposition to deal with the rest of the way. I posed the question last week: Is Homa the third-best player in the world (behind Rory McIlroy and Rahm)? Woods' closing kick was nearly as remarkable as his speed off the tee, and he once again reminded us why he's the best to ever do it.

At the par-3 fourth, where the group had to wait several minutes, Woods sat on a cooler with Thomas and untied his right shoe to give his foot some breathing room. “The ebb and flow of needling each other, encouraging each other and telling stories. In the scoring room afterward, Woods said McIlroy announced that he needed to go practice with his driver. “Right behind you,” Woods joked, knowing full well that he would be heading back to his hotel room for extensive icing treatment to prep for his 7:24 a.m. But he still slightly dragged his right leg due to the ankle that was damaged in his car accident two years ago, as well as the plantar fasciitis that he’s contended with more recently. It was a lively and big crowd gathered in front of the iconic clubhouse and lined the first hole, but it wasn’t the zoo that some might have expected. Woods joined McIlroy and Thomas as the trio birdied the easy, par-5 first hole, but he made only one birdie against three bogeys over the next 14 holes. “So, I've had so many surgeries that the ankle just keeps changing, the leg keeps changing. Now, this was a Thursday in the big city after all. Even when Woods made a third straight birdie at the 18th hole to shoot a hard-fought two-under-par 69—five shots more than leaders Max Homa and Keith Mitchell—Riviera’s grassy amphitheater was only about half full. Justin Thomas arrived, followed by McIlroy, and if the cheers and chants for Woods were hearty, they were hardly much louder. Golf moves on, and Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler are now the outlines that people recognize just as well from a distance.

McIlroy birdied the first and then ground out 10 straight pars before following a birdie four at the 11th with a chip-in birdie for a two at the 14th before parring his way to 17 and birdieing 18.
