It will be Woods's first official PGA Tour event since he tied for 10th in the Wyndham Championship in August 2015.
Woods missed all of 2016 recovering from two back surgeries, returning last month at the Hero World Challenge.
He finished 15th in a 17-man field in the Bahamas.
Woods won the PGA Tour event at Torrey Pines seven times, and his last major victory was at Torrey Pines in the 2008 US Open.
Woods previously announced he would play in the Genesis Open at Riviera, three weeks after Torrey Pines.
