We may only be approaching mid-February, but the third of the PGA Tour’s eight lucrative signature events is already upon us with the Tiger Woods-hosted Genesis Invitational.
That means there will be an elevated purse at this week’s event as well as increased world ranking points.
As one of three player-hosted signature events there is even more prize money heading to this week’s winner than typically available at the other marquee tournaments in the PGA Tour schedule.
That means that while the winners of The Sentry and the Pebble Beach Pro-Am were handed a check for $3.6m, the player who lifts the trophy on Sunday will bank $4m from an overall purse of $20m. It is set to be a lucrative week for the runner-up, too, as he will receive $2.2m – almost $900,000 more than Thomas Detry earned for his seven-shot win in the WM Phoenix Open.
The prize money given to the winner will be equal to that earned by the victor in another big men’s event this week, LIV Golf Adelaide. Unlike the LIV Golf tournament, there are also world ranking points available at the Genesis Invitational, which is taking place at Torrey Pines this year with Riviera Country Club closed due to the recent California wildfires.
Last year, winner Hideki Matsuyama won 68 points, and a similar number is likely to be handed to this week’s victor.

Who Are The Star Names At The Genesis Invitational?
Hideki Matsuyama is the defending Genesis Invitational champion
Tiger Woods had been expected to tee it up at the event, but he has pulled out of it following the death of his mother, Kultida. However, there is still a star-studded line-up at the Torrey Pines event.
Last year, Hideki Matsuyama beat Luke List and Will Zalatoris by three at Riviera Country Club, and he defends his title.
World No.1 Scottie Scheffler also plays, along with the winner of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Rory McIlroy. Other players in the world’s top 10 competing are Collin Morikawa, Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark and Viktor Hovland, although there’s still no sign of Xander Schauffele, who has been absent since finishing T30 at The Sentry.

Scottie Scheffler is one of the highest-profile names in the field
Max Homa, who won the 2021 edition, also plays, as does two-time winner Adam Scott.
Thomas Detry, who won last week’s WM Phoenix Open and Harris English, who claimed victory in January’s Farmers Insurance Open at this week’s venue, Torrey Pines, are also in the field.
Where Is The Genesis Invitational?
The traditional home of the Genesis Invitational is LA’s Riviera Country Club. However, because of the recent wildfires affecting the area, this year, the tournament moves to Torrey Pines, where the action will take place on its South Course.
Is Tiger Woods Playing In The Genesis Invitational?
The 15-time Major winner announced earlier in the month that he would play in the 2025 tournament. However, following the death of his mother Kultida on 4 February, he has now withdrawn from the event.
