The Genesis Invitational

Riviera Country Club greets us this year for their first year with “elevated” status on tour, with this week’s winner of the shortened “invitational” field getting a 3-year exemption plus extra cash on top of most of our other TOUR stops! There’s also a little more in the pot at most DFS sites, so let’s see what we can see in one of our favorite backdrops on TOUR, the Riviera Country Club!

Riviera CC:

Par: 71
Length: 7325
Scoring average per round: +0.77
Chances of bogey free round (field): 1.4%
Best opportunities for 3-birdie streak (field): 1-2-3? Not much.
