What time are Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods teeing off together at the Genesis Invitational today?

Rory McIlroy has been drawn to play with Tiger Woods in the first two rounds of the Genesis Invitational this weekend.

It's Woods' first start on Tour since the 2022 Open Championship last July. Since then, a sole appearance at the PNC Championship alongside his son Charlie is all we have seen from Tiger.

This will be Woods' first appearance at a non-major event since the 2020 Zozo Championship.

He makes his long-awaited return later today, and will play alongside McIlroy in a marquee pairing.

Here's what you need to know:

Can I watch it on TV?

Can I stream it?

Tiger Woods: "Well, the plan was to play. Whether or not this body would listen to me or not was the main question," he added.

"I can hit golf balls and do all that stuff, it's a matter of whether I have endurance in my leg, and we've been pushing it pretty good and able to recover each and every day, which is great.

"If I'm playing, I play to win. I know that players have played and they are ambassadors of the game and try to grow the game.

"I can't wrap my mind around that as a competitor. If I'm playing in the event I'm going to try and beat you.

"I'm there to get a W, OK? So I don't understand that making the cut is a great thing.

"There will come a point in time when my body will not allow me to do that anymore, and it's probably sooner rather than later, but wrapping my head around that transition and being the ambassador role and just trying to be out here with the guys, no, that's not in my DNA."
