Looking back at the 2021 Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club
Nobody seemed to want to win the Genesis Invitational last year. Sam Burns had a five-shot lead over four players heading into the weekend. None of these five players won, nor made the playoff. Burns held a two-shot lead over Fitzpatrick, Dustin Johnson, and Max Homa entering the final round and was up two entering the turn.
Riviera is a course with an abundance of elevation so some holes will play significantly longer or shorter than the number on the scorecard
The tee box on the par-5 1st is so elevated that every player in the field can hit less than driver off the tee and still get home in two. Players can’t go driver off the tee because there is 60 yards of rough bisecting the fairway 325 yards down, but this hole still plays close to the easiest on tour every year. A par on 1 is essentially a bogey.
The Genesis is one of five invitational tournaments on the PGA Tour
The standard tour event has around 156 players, but invitationals have about 20% less. There are 121 guys playing this week at the Genesis Invitational, and this is the strongest field of the young season as all the top 10 in the OWGR are in the field.
