Genesis Invitational: How to watch, streaming, preview, tee times, and more

Tournament host Tiger Woods will make his 2024 season debut this week at Riviera Country Club, hosting his third signature event of the season.

Just 70 players will tee up at this year’s Genesis Invitational, but unlike the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, there will be a 36-hole cut. Players tied for the top 50 and additional players within 10 strokes of his 36-hole lead qualify for the third and final round.

The PGA Tour’s player-sponsored invitational events, 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 Ranking are competing, including top-ranked Scottie Scheffler.

Scheffler tied for third at last week’s WM Phoenix Open, a thrilling finish. Nick Taylor defeated Charlie Hoffman in an epic two-hole playoff. Both players will be looking to continue their good form at Riviera. The nine players who finished in the top 10 in Phoenix will compete in the finals this week in Southern California.
