Catch the highlights from The Genesis Invitational honoring Tiger Woods' mother and featuring golf stars like Dustin Johnson and Scottie Scheffler!

The Genesis Invitational, a standout event on the PGA TOUR, is set to captivate golf fans with its emotional tributes and a lineup of star golfers. This weekend, the tournament will take place at the beautiful Torrey Pines Golf Course, previously known as the Riviera Country Club. Not only is it a gathering spot for some of the finest golfers, but this particular tournament is also steeped in heartfelt moments. In a moving tribute, the seventh hole pin flag will honor the late mother of the tournament’s host, Tiger Woods, who recently passed away. Her influence in Tiger’s life resonates through the green, reminding all of the profound legacies that sports can share beyond the game itself.

This year, fans will thrill to witness the likes of Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth competing alongside Alabama alumni who have made a mark in the golf world. The excitement doesn’t just end with famous faces; this tournament also boasts a massive purse of $20 million, with the winner striking gold and taking home a whopping $4 million. As Scottie Scheffler, currently ranked number one in the world, prepares to chase down the leaders — despite significant weather challenges — the energy is palpable, and the stakes are high.

What’s even more thrilling is the backdrop of community support behind The Genesis Invitational. The tournament didn't just change its venue for weather-related issues; it also is contributing $8 million in cash and car donations for philanthropy efforts geared towards relief and rebuilding. This initiative combines the love of the sport with a mission to give back to communities in need, proving that golf can be a source of change off the course as well.

As anticipation builds for this stellar event, golf enthusiasts are already buzzing about the performances to come. If history is any indicator, some electrifying plays are on the horizon, showcasing both young talents and seasoned pros. With Tiger Woods’ enduring legacy and the emotional tribute to his mother hanging in the air, The Genesis Invitational this year promises more than just golf — it serves up hope, history, and heart.

Fun fact: the Genesis Invitational has been hosted by Tiger Woods since 2020, shifting to Torrey Pines only due to the wildfires in California. Also, let’s remember that this premiere golf event isn’t just about winning — it’s also a reminder of family legacies and the community spirit that continues to thrive at each turn!
