Tiger Woods' pairing and caddie this week at Genesis Invitational 2024: When does the golfer begin?

Tiger Woods is returning to the tour after competing in the Hero World Challenge in November 2023. Commencing a fresh start, Woods is expected to have a new and reportedly temporary caddie Lance Bennett at the Genesis Invitational.

Bennett was spotted on Tuesday, (February 13) at the Riviera Country Club alongside Woods. The duo were engaged in a practice round before Woods could participate in the pro-am tournament on Wednesday (February 14).

The 82-time PGA Tour golfer will tee off his first and second rounds of the Genesis Invitational with Justin Thomas and Gary Woodland. The pair are expected to be on the greens at 12:25 p.m. ET and 2:54 p.m. ET at Riviera Golf Course.

It is important to note that Tiger Woods has committed to play one event in a month for the 2024 season. As of now, he doesn’t have a permanent caddie. The last time when he was on the greens at the PNC Championship, his daughter, Sam, was carrying his bag.

It remains to see how the partnership of Tiger Woods and Lance Bennett goes at the upcoming Genesis Invitational and whether they will collaborate for future tournaments.
