The Genesis Invitational is paying tribute to Tiger Woods’ mom this week at Torrey PinesOn Feb. 4, Tiger Woods lost his mother, Tida Woods. She was 80 years old. The 15-time major champion originally committed to play in this week’s Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines, a golf course where he’s won eight times, but pulled out on Monday, saying he wasn’t ready.In Tida’s honor, the PGA Tour is using an all-white flag on the South Course’s seventh hole. Here’s why: “A native of Thailand, Tida was a faithful Buddhist, and the No. 7 and color white are significant in Buddhism and will be displayed in her honor,” the Tour wrote in a social media post Thursday.Woods hasn’t played since the British Open in July, and it’s unknown whether he’ll tee it up before the Masters in April.This content is not Rory McIlroy has strengthened his ties with America’s most powerful family by playing with the President’s granddaughter Kai Madison Trump, just a month after enjoying a round with Donald Trump himself.McIlroy, the world No 3, accompanied the highly-rated 17-year-old and her father Donald Trump Jnr in the pro-am of the Genesis Invitational, the $20 million PGA Tour event that starts at Torrey Pines in San Diego on Thursday. The tournament has moved this year from its traditional home at Riviera Country Club because of the wildfires that devastated areas of the Los Angeles metropolitan area last month.Like everyone in the game, McIlroy knows all about the President’s granddaughter, who is soon enroling in Miami University after being lured by the faculty’s top golf team. Kai already has contracts worth more than $1 million and has earned positive reviews. She played in the pro-am of the LIV Golf Miami tournament last year, alongside her grandfather.McIlroy said he enjoyed the experience, just as he did with Donald Trump, who he joined for 18 holes at the President’s Palm Beach course a few days before his inauguration on January 7. When talking to media following Wednesday’s pro-am, the Northern Irishman let slip that Trump does not like LIV format and is on the side of the PGA Tour, despite the President staging the Saudi-funded events at some of his courses.
