Everything you need to know about the Genesis Invitational 2025

Where is the Genesis Invitational 2025?

Which players are in the Genesis Invitational 2025 field?
The Genesis Invitational field is about as good as it gets on the PGA Tour besides the absences of world number two Xander Schauffele through injury and Tiger Woods as he mourns his mother’s passing.
Any event that Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are involved in is worth watching. Plus, the likes of Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas and back-in-form Jordan Spieth are also teeing it up at Torrey Pines this week.

Genesis Invitational 2025 predictions
The Golfing Gazette writers predict who will lift the Genesis Invitational trophy on Sunday:
Peter Lynch: Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy should prove hard to beat, but I think defending champion Hideki Matsuyama can do exactly that. He produced a stunning comeback last time out, and boasts five top-20 finishes at Torrey Pines, with history firmly on his side this week.
Jordan Harris: Shane Lowry was unlucky to be on the wrong side of the draw at the Farmers Insurance Open earlier this year, and he followed that with a second-place finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. So the Irishman may help the Europeans continue their superb start to the PGA Tour season.
Sam Stone: Daniel Berger played well when the 2021 US Open was held at Torrey Pines, and the American looked in good form at last week’s WM Phoenix Open. Berger’s length could be a big advantage, and if he hits the fairway regularly, I fancy him to compete once more.
James Shearman: Justin Thomas finished second at The Sentry and tied for sixth at last week’s WM Phoenix Open so he’s certainly in good form. I’m predicting the 15-time PGA Tour winner to add the Genesis Invitational to his impressive collection.
