Can Tiger Woods break through and finally win at Riviera Country Club in next week’s Genesis Invitational?
If so, he will have to beat the strongest PGA Tour field of the young calendar year, according to Friday’s release of the commitment list.
Nine of the top 10 players in the current Official World Golf Ranking are scheduled to play in suburban Los Angeles next week.
It will, however, be a smaller field than the event’s accustomed to hosting, with the tournament’s new invitational status taking effect for the first time, reducing the number of players from 144 to 121.
