Woods needs one more PGA Tour victory to set the career record at 83. … Rory McIlroy also makes his 2020 debut. His last PGA Tour start was a victory in the HSBC Champions in Shanghai. A win would be enough to move him to No. 1 in the world. … Rose is defending his title after a runner-up finish last week in the Singapore Open on the Asian Tour. … Among the San Diego natives in the field are Xander Schauffele and Phil Mickelson. … The South Course is getting another U.S. Open in 2021. … Jordan Spieth is making his debut this year. He was supposed to start at the Sony Open but withdrew on the weekend before the tournament with a mild illness. … Woods shot 67 in the last round at Torrey Pines a year ago, ending a streak of 13 consecutive rounds without breaking 70 on the North or South courses.
