EVENT: The Genesis Invitational (Thurs-Sun)
WHY WE’LL WATCH: Tiger. Tiger. And a fantastic field beyond Tiger. This will feel and look like a major, with 19 of the world’s top 20 competing at Riviera, an iconic SoCal venue.
COURSE INFO: The “RIV” (not to be confused with LIV) is a 7,322-yard par-71 nestled among the Santa Monica Mountains ⛰️. The tree-lined fairways feature sharp doglegs. With little rain having fallen in Pacific Palisades, the contoured greens will play fast and firm.
FAVES: Jon Rahm leads the star-studded lineup (+750), followed by Rory McIlroy (+900) and Scottie Scheffler (+1000), who triumphed in the desert last week. Woods is +12500, equal to Tom Hoge and J.T. Poston.
BET TO CONSIDER: Viktor Hovland Top 10 (+260): He has flourished on this course, finishing T-4 last year and T-5 in 2021.
