Genesis Invitational Prize Money Payout 2025
There's a star-studded field competing for one of the largest prize money payouts of the PGA Tour season


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.
