Tiger Woods turned a new page in his career, becoming the king of golf even without competition.
“Super Tiger” has chosen the 2024 Genesis Invitational to open his calendar with his one tournament in a month on the PGA Tour.
After working at Nike for 27 years, he gets new clothes.
Woods will compete in the Genesis Invitational on February 15th at the Riviera Course in Los Angeles. He talks about the new chapter of his career. He is in his 48th year and after a car accident in February 2021, his legs especially became completely weak.
After this tournament, Woods no longer wore Nike apparel in tournaments, and the two sides announced the end of their partnership last month. It’s a massive 27-year contract, with Woods’ total compensation estimated at $500 million.
Woods trained yesterday at Riviera wearing Sunday Red (SDR). This is a product that Woods announced the day before in collaboration with his partner TaylorMade, who is also a club sponsor.
Its logo depicts a rising tiger reminiscent of its name, and the name is a nod to the color red Woods wore during his recent appearances.
For 27 years, the PGA Tour has typically operated on Sundays. The American golf superstar once told his Thai-born mother, Kultida, that red was a strong color for him. “I often wear red on the last day of important school events or tournaments. Coincidentally, the place I studied also had the same color palette. This combination has proven effective. Then when I turned pro, I won a few cups. “When you wear a red shirt, that tradition will never change,” Woods said in 2013.
Starting in 2024, America’s top men’s golf tournaments will begin reverting to a seasonal system throughout the administrative year.
The tournament schedule covers the period from January to mid-August. After the Genesis Invitational, Woods will play in four more majors and two tournaments. usually. His match schedule after these seven tournaments will be determined by his placement in the FedEx Cup standings.
The 15-time major champion parted ways with trusted assistant Joe LaCava and briefly played with veteran caddy Lance Bennett this week. The Genesis Invitational marks a special milestone in Woods’ career.
In 1992 at a tournament called the Los Angeles Open, he made his PGA Tour debut, although he was only 16 years old and an amateur. For many years, he led fundraising efforts for his charities.
Woods holds the PGA Tour record with 82 cuts, but has only played in the Genesis Invitational 15 times. The award also brings to mind Woods, who nearly died in a car accident near Los Angeles after presenting the first-place prize to Max Homa at the 2021 tournament.
