Bramlett receives Sifford exemption into Genesis Invitational

Genesis Invitational tournament host Tiger Woods announced Tuesday that Joseph Bramlett will be the recipient of this year's Charlie Sifford Memorial exemption into the field at Riviera.

Bramlett, who also played the event in 2011, is the first two-time recipient of the Sifford exemption, which has been awarded to a player representing a minority background since 2009 and was named after the World Golf Hall of Famer in 2017.

“It’s great seeing Joseph back on Tour,” Woods said in a statement. “The determination to rebuild his swing and regain his card shows the perseverance Charlie would have admired.
