Tiger Woods is back at the 2024 Genesis Invitational on the PGA Tour this week, and so are his props and betting odds.

Woods is in the field this week at Riviera Country Club after last playing in December. It has become a yearly tradition for Woods to play in this event when he's healthy. He hosts the tournament along with TGR Foundation, which Woods and his late father Earl Woods founded in 1996.

After an up-and-down 72 (+1) in the first round, sportsbooks have updated their odds for Tiger Woods in a variety of betting markets.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Tiger Woods and his betting odds at the 2024 Genesis Invitational.

When Are Tiger Woods' Tee Times?

  • Friday: 2:54 p.m. ET

On Friday, you can watch Tiger Woods after he tees off at 2:54 p.m. ET until 4 p.m. ET on ESPN+ on the Main Feed and the Marquee Group streams. After 4 p.m. ET, you can watch Woods on the Golf Channel (and you can also stream the Golf Channel on the Peacock app).

Because Tiger is the tournament host, he has a role in choosing the players in his tee times for the first two rounds, and he will be playing along with Justin Thomas and Gary Woodland.

If and when Tiger makes the cut, you can watch him on both Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. ET to 1 p.m. ET on ESPN+, 1 p.m. ET to 3 p.m. ET on Golf Channel and from 3 p.m. ET through the end of the round on CBS.

Interestingly enough, Woods to win outright is a more realistic line than usual according to Action Network's golf expert Jason Sobel, "It should be seen as a compliment to the public that Woods isn’t half this price, as bettors have largely progressed in recent years from blindly throwing money on their favorite player to being shrewder with their portfolios."

Woods was priced anywhere between 125-1 to 175-1 to win The Genesis Invitational before the tournament. In years past, he was between 50-1 and 100-1 to win outright in his returns to the PGA Tour.
