2025 Genesis Invitational Betting - Bet on FedEx Cup

2025 Genesis Invitational PGA Online Betting

The Genesis Invitational is the last event of the "West Coast Swing" to kick off the new calendar year, and it used to be that many players would skip this event to head down to Florida but that is no longer the case, as The Genesis Invitational is a Signature Event. Because of the wildfires in the Los Angeles area, the 2025 Genesis Invitational will be held on the South Course at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California. Torrey Pines was the site for the Farmers Insurance Open in late January. Normally the Genesis is held at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California which is one of the top courses in the world and a great test of golfing skill. The 2025 event has a strong field because The Genesis Invitational is a Signature Event and that means a $20 million dollar prize purse.  World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler leads the field and he is listed as the golf betting favorite. He is followed closely in the odds by World No. 3 Rory McIlroy. Hideki Matsuyama is the defending champion.

Catch all of the action at the Genesis Invitational from Thursday, February 13 through Sunday, February 16.

As noted earlier, the 2025 Genesis Invitational will be held on the South Course at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California. The South Course is the more famous of the two courses at Torrey Pines, as it hosted the U.S. Open in 2008 and in 2021.

The Genesis Invitational has been played all over the place in the Los Angeles area. In 1973, Riviera Country Club effectively became the permanent home of the event, though there have been a few examples of other courses taking over while Riviera was getting ready to host bigger events such as the PGA Championship in 1983 and the U.S. Senior Open in 1998.

Genesis Invitational Winners (2000)

The Genesis Invitational has usually been extremely competitive but in 2017 it was Dustin Johnson winning by five shots. Hideki Matsuyama won the event by three shots in 2024. The Genesis Invitational has been decided in a playoff eight times since 2001, including a whopping six-man playoff in '01 when Robert Allenby won the event.

Most Career Wins

The career winnings list at the Genesis Invitational is almost all about the old-time players. The first four-time winner of this event, Macdonald Smith, had his fourth win at that then Los Angeles Open before any of today's golfers were even born. His triumphs came in 1928, 1929, 1932 and 1934. Shortly after Smith won his four, Ben Hogan and Lloyd Mangrum dominated the links in Tinseltown. The two combined for seven titles between 1942 and 1956. The great Arnold Palmer had one of the best runs in this tournament's history as well, winning in 1963, 1966 and 1967. Bubba Watson broke into the three-time winner’s group by winning in 2018. There are 12 golfers who have won this event twice on top of this list of five golfers.

Best Winning Tournament Scores

The history of the Genesis Invitational suggests that there are going to be some relatively good scores but that has not always been the case. In 2015, James Hahn won this event at -6 at Riviera, and in 2012, Bill Haas wasn't much better in his winning year at -7.

This is a tournament that has featured six winners with above par scores, including a whopping +12 that Denny Shute won this event with back in 1930 – and he won by four shots!

The best score ever carded in the history of the Genesis Invitational was -20 back in 1985 when Lanny Watkins, of all people, reached that magical number. Since then, five golfers have hit -17 or better, the most recent of which was Hideki Matsuyama in 2024.
