GENESIS INVITATIONAL
After a wild week in Scottsdale, the TOUR goes back to one of its most traditional tracks – Riviera Country Club. Amongst the glitz and glamor of the Hollywood backdrop, this event almost always delivers a fantastic leaderboard and a great finish. Last year Max Homa defeated Tony Finau in a dramatic playoff to capture his hometown tournament and deliver one of the best final rounds of the season.
Tiger Woods has become the host of this event and should be on location for at least the weekend, likely making an appearance on the broadcast on Sunday afternoon.
The Field
Highlighting the field this week are: Patrick Cantlay, Rickie Fowler, Tony Finau, Viktor Hovland, Max Homa, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama, Collin Morikawa, Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele
