Woods makes his 2017 debut at Farmers Insurance Open

Tiger Woods will make his 2017 debut this week at the PGA Tour’s Farmers Insurance Open.

The tournament is played annual at Torrey Pines Golf Club’s South Course and North Course, and it opens Thursday. Woods will play with Jason Day and Dustin Johnson in the first two rounds.

The 14-time major championship winner has 79 PGA Tour wins, but Woods hasn’t won since the 2013 season.

Macon’s Russell Henley is not in the field this week.

Former John Milledge star Ashlan Ramsey is playing this season on the Symetra Tour, which opens its season next month.
