The Genesis Open 2023, also known as The Genesis Invitational, marks the final famous West Coast Swing tournament and promises to deliver a full show This year, the tournament received extra buzz when Tiger Woods announced that he would be playing in the tournament that he organizes, during the final round of the Phoenix Open.
The event takes place at the renowned Riviera Country Club in California and was won by Chilean Joaquín Niemann last year. Unfortunately, Niemann will not defend his title as he is in the LIV Tour, which the PGA does not support. Therefore, a new champion will emerge in this long-standing tournament.
The tournament will run from February 16 to 19 and will feature the top three golfers in the PGA Tour world ranking, who have never won at the Riviera.
