Tiger Woods to tee off with Patrick Reed, Charley Hoffman in Farmers Insurance Open

Tiger Woods will tee off at 1:40 p.m. ET Thursday in the Farmers Insurance Open, his first PGA Tour start in a year. 

Woods will play the South Course alongside Charley Hoffman and Patrick Reed. 

Reed, who played a practice round with Woods in the Bahamas, said this week he expects Woods will improve over time. 

“I think he’s just going to build off of that and get better and better,” Reed said. “This week will be a true test, because you’ve got some thick rough, a long golf course and some cold weather. In the Bahamas we had pretty generous fairways, it was warm and the rough was not penalizing. That’s not the case this week."
