A cut is made after 36 holes to the top 50 players and ties. All players who finish four rounds of the tournament will earn money.
The prize-money payout is typically based on exactly 65 players making the cut and finishing the tournament. When more than 65 pros make the cut, the purse is increased to make sure every player is paid.
The event is played this year at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.
This is the 6th PGA Tour event of the 2026 PGA Tour schedule.
