Featured tee time for Round 1
The last time Scottie Scheffler played the Gensis Invitational at Riviera, he had only one major win to his name. A lot has changed since then, for Scheffler and the tournament.
One year after wildfires in Los Angeles forced organizers to move the 2025 event to Torrey Pines, the event returns to its longtime home in L.A., with its host Tiger Woods in tow.
Scheffler finished T10 at the 2024 Genesis at Riviera and since then has captured three more major victories and a boatload of PGA Tour wins, cementing his place at the top of the Official World Golf Ranking.
He's yet to finish outside the top-4 this season, and at Riviera the World No. 1 will be vying for his second victory of 2026, along with its $4 million winner's prize thanks to its status as a Signature Event.
Scheffler tees off for the opening round of the Genesis on Thursday at 2:37 p.m. ET alongside Xander Schauffele and Si Woo Kim.
