The golf superstar Tiger Woods canceled his start at the Genesis Invitational at short notice, for a very personal reason: the death of his mother. This decision causes a sensation, especially since the highly doped tournament, which has 20 million dollars prize money, was already affected by another scandal: Due to the devastating forest fires in Los Angeles from Pacific Palisades, it had to be moved to San Diego href = "https://www.krone.at/3688365"> Krone .

In the meantime, the tournament is enriched by several prominent players, including the Austrian Sepp Straka and the Scotsman Robert Macintyre. The two golf professionals that got on well during the Ryder Cup 2023 combine a special band. Macintyre even remembered a funny gift that he had made Straka at the Scottish Open - a bottle of Scotch from his homeland. This year both players also have their appearances at the Hero World Challenge, which is important for fans, which is organized by Woods. In a conversation with Martin Dempster from The Scotsman, Macintyre called the memorable first encounter with Woods during the Masters in 2022, which made him a little ashamed. "I just have to put on my big boys," said Macintyre when he expressed his nervousness about his second encounter with the golf fleece, as from Sportskeeda reported

However,

Tiger Woods still has to fight with the consequences of his sixth back surgery and was therefore hardly used this season. Even if he does not play at the Hero World Challenge himself, he will still be there to fulfill his hosts. Macintyre is full of praise for Woods: "He changed the game. For me, he is the best I have ever seen," the Scotsman was quoted. In addition, after the first round of the Hero World Challeng, he occupies eighth place with a score of four under par. This competition promises to become an exciting event, especially with Woods as hosts and the talented players on the square.
