Woods' appearance at Torrey Pines is his 19th at an event he has won seven times, while another victory this week would see him overtake Sam Snead's all-time record of 82 PGA Tour titles.

The course was also the site of his dramatic US Open victory in 2008, which had been his most recent major victory until he won the Masters for a fifth time last April, as well as the venue where Woods claimed the Junior World Championship in 1991.

Woods registered a three-shot win in 2005 for the first of four consecutive titles, while his most recent victory at the event being when he finished four clear of Brandt Snedeker and Josh Teater in 2013.
