The PGA Tour heads to one of its most iconic stops of the season this week: the Genesis Invitational. Hosted by Tiger Woods and traditionally held at Riviera Country Club, the Genesis has become one of the Tour’s most prestigious Signature Events, drawing nearly every top player in the world.
This year’s field is loaded, featuring players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, and Collin Morikawa, among others.

Why This Week Matters
The Genesis Invitational isn’t just another Tour stop. As a Signature Event, it attracts an elite, limited field and a $20 million purse, with the winner taking home $4 million. Riviera remains one of the Tour’s most respected venues, and historically, success here has been a strong indicator of players who will contend throughout the year. Between the strength of the field and the difficulty of the course, this week should deliver one of the best tournaments of the young season.
