Tiger Woods makes his first start of 2017 at Torrey Pines in the Farmers Insurance Open, live on Sky Sports

Tiger Woods makes his first appearance of 2017 this week at the Farmers Insurance Open, with extended coverage live on Sky Sports.

Woods begins his first of four tournaments in five weeks at Torrey Pines, having only made one competitive start since his last regular PGA Tour event in August 2015.

The California course has previously brought Woods plenty of success, with the 41-year-old a seven-time winner of the event at the venue where he also claimed the most recent of his 14 major titles.

Live action is available from 4.45pm on Thursday, ahead of full coverage from 8pm on Sky Sports 4.
