Tiger Woods announced that he will play his next event at Riviera.

The former No. 1 played respectably in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas earlier this month, shooting 4-under par over the four rounds, including a 65 on a bogey-free Friday, in his first tournament in 15 months following a series of back injuries.

That tournament included a small field of 18 players, while the Genesis Open — played Feb. 13-16, in Pacific Palisades, Calif. — will be a full-field event.

“I’m very excited to come back to Riviera and compete in the Genesis Open,” Woods said in a statement on his website. “This is where it all started for me. It was my first PGA TOUR event. I was 16 years old, I weighed about 105 pounds. It was a life-changing moment for me.”

The Tiger Woods Foundation hosts the event, which he has not played since 2006.
