How can fans tune into the Genesis Invitational? Here is everything you need to know about the tournament Tiger Woods hosts.
Tournament host Tiger Woods will make his 2024 season debut this week at Riviera Country Club, where the third Signature Event of the season will take place.
Only 70 players will tee it up at this year’s Genesis Invitational, but unlike the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, there will be a 36-hole cut. The top 50 players and ties, along with any additional players within 10 strokes of the 36-hole lead, will qualify for the third and final rounds.
Player-hosted invitationals on the PGA Tour—The Genesis Invitational, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and the Memorial Tournament—are the only Signature Events to feature a 36-hole cut.
This week, 18 of the top 20 players in the Official World Golf Rankings are in the field, including top-ranked Scottie Scheffler.
Scheffler finished in a tie for third at last week’s WM Phoenix Open, which saw a thrilling finish. Nick Taylor defeated Charley Hoffman in an epic two-hole playoff, as both players will look to keep the good mojo going at Riviera. Nine players who finished in the top 10 in Phoenix will tee it up in Southern California this week.
