The weekend has arrived at the Genesis Invitational as many of the world’s best golfers navigate Riviera Country Club in hopes of coming away with a $4 million winner’s prize.
This is the second of back-to-back signature events on the PGA Tour calendar, meaning the field is smaller and the money is bigger. Unlike some other signature events, though, the Genesis made a cut after 36 holes (see the full list of players who missed the weekend at Riviera).
Marco Penge and Jacob Bridgeman were tied atop the leaderboard at 12 under after Friday’s second round, both seeking the first PGA Tour win of their careers. But right behind them is a host of players who have won a lot, including Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele and Adam Scott, who all entered the weekend within three shots of the lead.

What is the prize money for the 2026 Genesis Invitational?
