Tiger Woods will play his first PGA Tour event of 2024 at the Genesis Invitational in February.

The 15-time major champion has had a limited schedule since suffering a leg injury in a car crash in 2021.

Woods last played in December when he said he expected to play one event per month in 2024.

The 48-year-old says he is "excited" to be playing at the Genesis Invitational, which he hosts, and which starts in California on Thursday, 15 February.

Woods withdrew from the Masters in April 2023 before making his return to competitive action at the Hero World Challenge in December.

The American also played alongside his 14-year-old son Charlie at the PNC Championship in Orlando in December.

Woods' last win on the PGA Tour was at the 2019 Zozo Championship in Japan, which saw him equal Sam Snead's record of 82 Tour victories.
