Event Preview

The final event on the West Coast Swing is set for this weekend, as the lucrative Torrey Pines Golf Course hosts the Genesis Open for the first time. This weekend’s event marks the first time since 1999 that the competition hasn’t taken place at the Rivera Country Club.

Torrey Pines has twice hosted the U.S. Open, with Jon Rahm last claiming victory in 2021. Scottie Scheffler once again heads the betting, as he looks to build momentum ahead of the opening major of the season. The American has made the cut in both of his appearances this season, and was last in action taking a share of 25th at the Phoenix Open.

Rory McIlroy is a solid second choice in the betting at this stage. The Northern Irishman kicked off his PGA Tour season in excellent fashion at the start of the month after landing the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Hideki Matsuyama was a memorable winner of the event in 2024, shooting an incredible 62 in his final round. Patrick Cantlay had set the early pace ahead of the final day, but the Japanese star powered to success in the final stretch. Both, once again, are hard to dismiss this weekend.

Genesis Open Picks

Rory McIlroy put down an eye-catching marker for the season ahead at the start of the month, and he could be difficult to bet against if in the same form.

His driving was superb at Pebble Beach, and he looked calm and composed as he bids to start the year in excellent form to enhance his chances of ending his eleven-year wait for major glory.
