Tiger Woods will play his first official professional tournament of 2024 at the upcoming Genesis Invitational.

The 82-time PGA Tour champion is paired with two-time PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas and 2019 US Open champion Gary Woodland who is invited to the event as one of the sponsor’s exemption. Interestingly, Woodland will be playing his fourth event since returning to golf after a brain surgery.

What Brand Will Tiger Woods Be Wearing At The Genesis Invitational?

Earlier in January 2024, the 82-time PGA Tour champion split with Nike after 27 years of association. Although there was no clarity on why the two parties ended their partnership, it was certain that Woods would be joining hands with some other apparel brand.

Just a few days before the Genesis Invitational, Tiger Woods announced a new clothing line named Sun Day Red in partnership with famous golf equipment manufacturer TaylorMade. The brand unveiled some t-shirts, hoodies, and shoes at the launch event. So, it is quite confirmed that the famous American golfer will be donning the new 15-stripe tiger logo clothes at Riveria Golf Course.

The upcoming PGA Tour signature event will be exciting to watch as Woods is making his 2024 season debut. The 15-time major champion looked slightly rusty when he last time teed up at the Hero World Challenge 2023. Now, he must be looking to gain some momentum before the Masters Tournament scheduled later in April 2024.
