Tiger Woods is going back to the tour after taking part in the Hero World Challenge in November 2023. At the Genesis Invitational, Woods is said to have a new caddie named Lance Bennett, who will be with him for the short term.
Bennett was seen with Woods at the Riviera Country Club on Tuesday, February 13. Before Woods could play in the pro-am event on Wednesday (February 14), the two played a practice round.
The player has played on the PGA Tour 82 times. He will start his first and second rounds of the Genesis Invitational with Justin Thomas and Gary Woodland. At 12:25 p.m. ET and 2:54 p.m. ET, the two are likely to be on the greens at Riviera Golf Course.
It’s important to remember that Tiger Woods has agreed to play in one tournament every month in 2024. He doesn’t have a regular caddie yet. His daughter Sam was holding his bag the last time he was on the greens at the PNC Championship.
