Ben Hogan was known as "Mr. Riviera" and dominated the early years of the tournament. Tiger Woods won the Genesis Invitational three times, in 1999, 2003, and 2004, and left behind some amazing moments for fans. Tiger Woods' multiple wins have always elevated the event's status. World number one Rory McIlroy is playing in 2025. The last year's champion, Jon Rahm, has also been hot lately this season. 2021 Genesis Invitational winner Max Homa is back to defend, too.
Each year, the Genesis Invitational supports charity. In 2025, it will be community and youth development programs. Last year, they raised over $300,000 for First Tee, Girls on the Run, and the U.S. Soccer Foundation.

Genesis Invitational 2025 Format:

The Genesis Invitational 2025 is a stroke play tournament that includes four rounds. In this format, each player's total score is counted, and the player who completes all 72 holes with the lowest score wins the tournament. Round 1 and Round 2 includes 18 holes each. After 36 holes, the cut line will be set, and only the top players will play the final 2 rounds. Cut is usually top 65, but if tied for 65th place, the top 70 will play. If a player is tied at the end of the tournament, a sudden-death playoff will be held. Playoff holes will be determined by the tournament committee. The player who wins the hole in the playoff will be the tournament winner.
