The 2023 The Genesis Invitational format remains unchanged this year, with the PGA Tour event played at the Riviera Country Club near Los Angeles, Calif.
2023 The Genesis Invitational format, cut rules and playoff format
For the third and fourth rounds, the pairings and tee times are made based on each player's total score through two and three rounds, respectively. Players with the highest total score go first, then in descending order until the two players with the lowest total score in the final group.
The player with the lowest total score after 72 holes is the winner and will earn the 2023 The Genesis Invitational winner's share of the purse.
The winning player will earn 550 FedEx Cup points and will earn approximately 68 Official World Golf Ranking points.
The Genesis Invitational playoff format
A playoff to settle any ties after 72 holes will be played under PGA Tour rules. The The Genesis Invitational playoff format is a sudden-death format, with playoff holes being 18, then eventually 10, played by any qualifying players. The players compete hole-by-hole until a winner is determined by a player scoring the lowest among the remaining players.
