The 2025 PGA Tour continues this week in California with a star-studded Genesis Invitational. Here's how to watch a 2025 Genesis Invitational live stream from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and live streams on TV screens, laptops, tablets and mobiles.
Could an event which has attracted the top golfing talent from around the world end up being won by someone who had not had a win in any of the 286 events he has played? Patrick Rodgers leads the tournament on -8 entering the final round. Denny McCarthy (-7) and Ludvig Aberg (-6) lie second and third. McIlroy and Scheffler are tied in 8th on 3 under.
Can Rodgers hang on? Four times he had lead a tournament entering the final round, but never has he won one. His best results are two lost playoffs. Of his winless career, which nevertheless has earned him $15,866,333 in prize money, the 31 year old said: “Whenever my name is mentioned, that's the first thing that everybody says, so it's something that I have to deal with. I've struggled with it for a long time, but I feel like I'm viewing my career from a different vantage point now and I'm excited about the opportunity to cross that finish line on Sunday.”
A stellar field, headed by world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, has assembled for the Genesis Invitational. Only four of the top 50-ranked golfers in the world are not playing in this PGA Tour Signature Event.
For this year only, the tournament has a new venue: Torrey Pines’ South course in San Diego. The event has been moved from its traditional Los Angeles home of the Riviera Country Club due to the wild fires in that area.
The defending champion is Hideki Matsuyama, who won in dramatic fashion last year after starting the final day six shots off the lead. He already has a Tour victory under his belt this year.
Each year on the PGA Tour, Torrey Pines hosts the Farmers Insurance Open, won this year by Harris English, who can come into the event with some confidence.
So, too, can Rory McIlroy, as the Northern Irishman won on his last PGA Tour outing, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, another one of the PGA Tour’s Signature Events.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler continues his return to action after surgery on his hand, and the will be looking to improve on finishes of T9 and T25 so far this season.
