Event Preview

There will be competitive action on the PGA Tour this weekend, as the Genesis Open is staged in California. The field will compete over a total of 7,332 yards, with a purse of $20 million up for grabs in the stroke play event. Riviera Country Club will be staging the event for the 60th time this weekend, and it has been the home of the Genesis Open since 1999.

Lanny Wadkins holds the tournament record score at the event, as the star finished 20-under when recording an aggregate score of 264 with victory in 1985. A number of players have landed victory on multiple occasions, including Adam Scott and Bubba Watson.

This weekend will be all about Tiger Woods’ return to action. The legendary star is yet to win the event, but he has finished as the runner-up on two occasions. However, a bid for glory appears to be a massive outside chance this weekend.

Scottie Scheffler tops the betting after enjoying a fine start to the new season, while Rory McIlroy could present a value angle in the betting, despite never having won at the Genesis Open. Colin Morikawa could be one of the most intriguing betting angles after finishing as the runner-up in 2022.


Genesis Open Prediction

Course form could count for a lot this weekend, meaning that we would be prepared to take a chance on Max Homa. The American won the Genesis Open in 2021, and was two shots off Jon Rahm when finishing as the runner-up last year.
