LA JOLLA, United States: Tiger Woods returns to US PGA Tour competition on Thursday (Friday in Manila) playing alongside Patrick Reed and Charley Hoffman in the first round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. The 14-time major champion, whose eight professional wins at Torrey Pines include the 2008 US Open, will tee off on the South Course at 10:40 a.m. (18:30 GMT), on Thursday, according to the tee times announced on Tuesday. It will be his first US PGA Tour event since he missed the cut at the same tournament last year — when he was returning to the PGA Tour for a first start in 18 months. That high-octane group will play the first round on Torrey Pines’ North Course, one of two in use before the two weekend rounds are played on the South Course. World number seven Rickie Fowler will also play the first round on the North Course, paired with the PGA Tour’s 2017 Rookie of the Year Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay.
