Tiger Woods will begin his latest comeback on familiar ground — at the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego. Woods took to Twitter to announce the commencement of his latest comeback. He will play in the Farmers at Torrey Pines Golf Club on Jan. 25-28 and in the Genesis Open at Riviera Country Club north of Los Angeles on Feb. 15-18. The former world No. 1 played just four events the last two years and had four surgeries to his back since 2014; the last in April 2017 was a spinal fusion procedure. Woods returned to compet- itive golf in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas the first week of December. Woods, who turned 42 last month, looked strong and his swing was powerful and free as he tied for ninth in the field of 18 of the game’s best players.
