Question: What was the first PGA Tour tournament played by Tiger Woods?
Answer: The first PGA Tour tournament that Tiger Woods played was the 1992 Nissan Los Angeles Open at Riviera Country Club. Woods was 16 years old at the time and was given a sponsor's exemption into the field.
Woods posted scores of 72 and 75, missing the cut.
A little trivia: Prior to the tournament week, a practice round for Woods at Riviera was arranged. As a private course, Riviera required non-members to be accompanied by members, so Woods played that practice round with the club's director of golf. Riviera's director of golf in 1992 was Peter Oosterhuis, former PGA Tour winner who later went on to a career as a golf broadcaster.
