Tiger Woods: PGA Tour record could be set at Farmers Insurance Open

Woods will be accompanied by a strong field at the Farmers Insurance Open

Tiger Woods will bid on a record-breaking 83rd PGA Tour victory at the Farmers Insurance Open on January 23.

The 44-year-old equal to Sam Snead's number 82 – set in 1965 – at the Zozo Championship in Japan in October.

The Farmers Insurance Open is played at Torrey Pines, where Woods wins eight wins, including the US Open 2008.

Woods will be accompanied by a strong field, including Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Phil Mickelson, Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele.

Since Snead's record, Woods has competed in two unofficial events in December. He finished fourth in the 18-man Hero World Challenge before setting a 3-0 record as a game captain for the victorious US side in the Presidential Cup.

Woods met Snead when he was five and the pair played holes together on a course near Los Angeles.
