The 2026 The Genesis Invitational continues the PGA Tour season with the event at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, welcoming 72 world-class players to the PGA Tour event.

The 2026 The Genesis Invitational betting odds indicate this week's favorite is Scottie Scheffler, who comes in at +340 betting odds.

Rory McIlroy is 14-to-1 this week and next best on the odds table this week as he looks to build on his strong Sunday finish at Pebble Beach.

Xander Schauffele is next on the board at 22-to-1 heading into the week, and the rest of the board follows for the first PGA Tour field of the year.

2026 The Genesis Invitational betting picks

The The Genesis Invitational is the sixth event of the season, with the PGA Tour returning to the Los Angeles area for the Tiger Woods-hosted event.

Riviera is such a great course. I love it. It's challenging and demanding, and it holds up against the pros. This is a ballstriker's course above all else, and you have to be comfortable working the ball at times.

Sam Burns might be ready to win again on the PGA Tour, and he has to take some positives from last weekend. He's been solid here in previous years.

Hideki is probably too short to bet, but he played very well at Pebble and won here back in 2024.

Tom Hoge is a worthwhile longshot, given a good record here seems to come off good finishes at Pebble, where he played well last week.
