A signature PGA Tour invitational hosted by Tiger Woods in support of his foundation, played at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades. The 1926 George Thomas design drops from a clifftop clubhouse into a canyon floor and is a purist favourite that has resisted modern distance almost entirely. The limited elite field and natural amphitheatre make it one of the most watchable stops on tour.

How to attend
Single-day grounds passes and hospitality are sold at genesisinvitational.com, and the event remains open to the public despite its invitational field. Tickets typically go on sale in the closing months of the previous year and the weekend rounds sell first. Parking at Riviera is very limited, so use the official shuttle from the designated remote lots or arrive by rideshare.
Insider tip
Riviera sits in a natural bowl, so the slope above the 1st tee and 18th green lets you watch the opening and closing of every round from a single spot - claim it early and you barely need to move all day.
