Fresh off his win at AT&T Pebble Beach, Collin Morikawa meets the media ahead of the 2026 Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club. Morikawa talks about celebrating back home in L.A., the whirlwind 72 hours after the victory (and the baby news), and what it’s like returning to one of his favorite stops on the PGA TOUR.
He also breaks down how soft greens and rain change Riviera strategy (“spinning back 5-irons”), why he and his caddie build their own game plan, and what the new par-3 4th feels like (“hit and hope” with 3-wood). Morikawa reflects on Riviera’s 100th playing, coming back to L.A. after last year’s fires, why he’s focused on playing “free golf” again, and the mindset of not copying anyone else — even the World No. 1. Plus, a look at the challenge of Riviera’s brutal 12th hole and why a 4 feels like a win all week.
