Tiger Woods is set to play in next week's Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines. He returns to a golf course he's dominated over his career.

It will be his first PGA Tour start since the British Open last July and Woods will be playing — and walking — 18 holes in competition for the first time since he had a microdiscectomy in September to alleviate pain.

The golf legend, who annually hosts the tournament at Riviera Country Club, has recorded eight of his 82 PGA Tour wins at Torrey Pines, including the 2008 U.S. Open.
