The PGA Tour returns to one of its most exciting venues next week.
The 2026 Genesis Invitational will be played at Riviera Country Club for the first time in two years. The 2025 edition was contested at Torrey Pines due to Riviera’s close proximity to the damaging wildfires in Southern California. But now the coast is clear for the best players in the world to descend upon the iconic golf course once again and compete in the event hosted by Tiger Woods. Check out the full list of pros set to tee it up at Riviera next week.

Who’s playing in the 2026 Genesis Invitational?
The field at the 2026 Genesis Invitational includes 18 of the top 20 and 41 of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking. This is the second of back-to-back signature events on Tour, meaning there are only 72 players in the field. But, unlike some other signature events (such as this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am), there will be a 36-hole cut at the Genesis Invitational. The top 50 and ties, plus any player within 10 shots of the lead, will play the weekend at Riviera.
