Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Tiger Woods will tee up for his 2025 season debut at The Genesis Invitational next week at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, he said Friday on social media.

Woods made the announcement just three days after the death of his mother, Kultida. Woods, host of the annual tournament, missed the cut in July at the British Open, his last PGA Tour tournament appearance.

He made just five tournament appearances last season before undergoing season-ending back surgery. Woods, 49, played alongside son Charlie, 15, in December's PNC Championship.

He also participated in two matches alongside his Jupiter Links Golf Club teammates in TGL, the new tech-infused golf league he co-founded with Rory McIlroy.

The Genesis Invitational will be held Feb. 13 to 16 at on Torrey Pines South Course. Hideki Matsuyama is the defending champion. Woods withdrew in 2024 because of illness.

The tournament is normally played at the Riviera Country Club, but was moved because of the southern California wildfires.
