Tiger Woods is going back to the PGA Tour event at Riviera for the first time since 2006.
The Tiger Woods Foundation will become the host organization that runs the tournament, which has Hyundai Motor America as the new title sponsor. The PGA Tour said Tuesday that Woods will be the tournament host and become actively involved in the tournament.
Riviera is where Woods, who grew up about 45 minutes away, made his PGA Tour debut as a 16-year-old amateur. He missed the cut with rounds of 72-75.
''This is a fantastic opportunity for my foundation,'' Woods said in a statement.
