LOS ANGELES — It's time for the final event on the PGA Tour's 'West Coast Swing.'
FedExCup points for winner: 550Last time out: Joaquin Niemann grabs wire-to-wire winNiemann cruised to a wire-to-wire win at the 2022 Genesis Invitational in what was his second-career win on Tour. He was the second-youngest winner in the event’s history, and the first to go wire-to-wire in more than 50 years.
After posting a pair of 63s to start the week, Niemann only went even par in the final round to close out the tournament.."We're finally done and I can have a smile on my face and just think about it like it was a fun day."Tiger is back, and he’s ‘playing to win’Though he's admitted that he's rusty"I would not have put myself out here if I didn't think I could beat these guys and win the event. That's my mentality," Woods.
Woods hasn’t played since the British Open in July, which marked just his third competitive round since his car crash in Southern California in 2021. He missed the cut at St. Andrews, and only made it through all four rounds at one of those three appearances. If he were to win this week, it would mark the 83rd of his career — which would finally make Woods the winningest golfer in the sport’s history and break his tie with Sam Snead.
Woods will play with Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas in the first two rounds of the event, starting on Thursday just after 3 p.m. ET.
