The PGA Tour will head to Los Angeles this week for The Genesis Invitational 2026. The second Signature event of the season will be played from Thursday, February 19, to Sunday, February 22, at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades.
The Genesis Invitational 2026 is returning to Los Angeles after being shifted to San Diego last year. For the uninitiated, last year’s event was played at Torrey Pines due to the wildfires in Los Angeles.
The Genesis Invitational 2026 will be a 72-player field event hosted by Tiger Woods. However, the fifteen-time major champion is absent from the event yet again, as he is still recuperating from recent surgeries.
The Los Angeles event will feature eighteen of the top 20-ranked players in the OWGR, with only Patrick Reed and Justin Thomas absent. While Reed is currently ineligible to compete, Thomas is still recovering from a recent injury. Furthermore, the Riviera field will have 41 of the top 50-ranked players in action.
Unlike the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the Genesis Invitational will have a 36-hole cut. Ludvig Åberg is the defending champion here and will look to become the first player since Phil Mickelson (2008) to successfully defend the title.

The strong finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2026 has brought Scottie Scheffler into yet another club featuring Tiger Woods. The World No. 1 is now only the second player to have eight straight finishes inside the top four on the PGA Tour.
On Sunday, February 15, Scheffler entered the final round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am eight strokes back. He came out firing on Day 4, as he began with a birdie, eagle and birdie to get to 4-under in just three holes. He didn’t stop there, as he picked up four more birdies and another two eagles to shoot a 63 and tie for 4th at 20-under.
The T4 finish at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am is Scheffler’s eighth straight top-4 finish on the PGA Tour. He hasn’t finished outside of 4th since The Open Championship in 2025. With the eight consecutive top-4 finishes, he has joined Tiger Woods in achieving such a feat. Interestingly, the 15-time major champion achieved this twice in his career.
Scottie Scheffler has been in dominant form for the third straight season, and no other player is even close in terms of consistency. The star golfer has four wins, two T3s, and two T4 finishes in his last eight starts. All of his twenty wins have come since 2022, and he has bagged a whopping fourteen titles since 2024.
Scottie Scheffler ‘proud’ of his play at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
During his post-round interview, Scottie Scheffler reflected on his impressive performance at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2026.
“Yeah, anytime you’ve got three eagles in one round, good things are happening,” he said. “It was nice to take advantage of the holes early in the round to kind of put myself on the leaderboard. Yeah, did a lot of good stuff, holed a lot of nice putts, hit a lot of nice iron shots. Proud of the way I played today.”
The World No. 1 golfer insisted that he didn’t have any crazy expectations on Sunday and that he only wanted to play good golf.
“I birdied 1. I’m like OK, maybe eagle on 2, see what happens,” he added. “Eagle to 2, you’re like, all right, let’s see if I can birdie 3. It’s almost like I’m play a wolf game, you’re trying to birdie every single hole. If I shot 75 today it wouldn’t make much difference. Just get up there and kind of freewheeled it and did some nice things.”
The purse size of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2026 was $20 million, and Scottie Scheffler bagged $877,500 for the T4 finish.
