Tiger Woods withdraws from 2025 Genesis Invitational: 15-time major champion still 'processing' mother's death

The tournament host will no longer be teeing up this week at Torrey Pines

After originally committing to the field at Torrey Pines, Tiger Woods has withdrawn from the 2025 Genesis Invitational, the event he has hosted in California since 2020. The 15-time major champion posted on social media that he tried his best to prepare for the tournament but is still processing the death of his mother.

"I planned to tee it up this week, but I'm just not ready," Woods said in a statement. "I did my best to prepare, knowing it's what my Mom would have wanted, but I'm still processing her loss. Thanks to everyone who has reached out. I hope to be at Torrey later in the week and appreciate the continued kindness since my Mom's passing."
