The PGA Tour returns to Torrey Pines for the second time in under a month as this week it plays host to the second signature event of the season in The Genesis Invitational.
World number one Scottie Scheffler tees it up for a third straight week as he continues to search for his first win of the year, and he once again headlines The Genesis Invitational odds.
"MacIntyre enters the the Genesis Invitational coming off four straight rounds in the 60’s..."
Make sure to pay attention to longshots this week though as Torrey Pines has a long history of playing tough and not making it easy on anyone.
With such a small field you need to also pay close attention to The Genesis Invitational projected cut line as only the top 50 players, plus ties, as well as anyone within 10 shots of the lead after the second round will advance to the weekend.
Coming off a tie for sixth at last weeks WM Phoenix Open, Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre will tee it up again this week as he looks to tame Torrey Pines.
MacIntyre finished 35th at the U.S. Open held at Torrey Pines in 2021 and missed the cut at the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open.
With it being a Ryder Cup year, the European lefty will look to be back on the squad like he was in 2023 and seeing fellow Europeans in Rory McIlroy, Sepp Straka and now Thomas Detry win this year should only have the two-time PGA Tour winner more dialed in then ever.
Sitting 14th in the official world golf rankings, MacIntyre enters the event coming off four straight rounds in the 60’s and his background of playing well in tough conditions should make him a great play on a course that can play tough.
Riding the hot hand, Thomas Detry looks to make it back-to-back wins on the PGA Tour after his breakthrough victory last week at the WM Phoenix Open.
It was only a matter of time before the 32-year-old broke through and it finally happened in his 68th professional start.
Detry also has had previous success at Torrey Pines where he has made the cut in all three of his appearances and finished tied for 15th three weeks ago when the Farmers Insurance Open was held there.
Although it is not that common for a player to get his first two career wins in consecutive weeks, Detry has been playing well enough over the past year that he could very well be poised to pull off the achievement.
Sitting 53rd in the official world golf rankings, Min Woo Lee arrives in California in search of his first career PGA Tour victory. It’s only a matter of time before the 26-year-old Australian breaks through and this could be the week for that to happen.
Having started off the season with a tie for 17th at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and following it up with a tie for 12th at last weeks WM Phoenix Open, Lee arrives in San Diego in great form.
Over his young career Lee has shown the ability to get it done on tough courses and this week should be no different. In just 13 majors Lee has a top five, two top 15’s and an additional five top 27 finishes and could be primed for a breakthrough victory this week.
44-year-old Adam Scott continues to be a factor on the PGA Tour even though he hasn’t tasted victory since the 2020 version of The Genesis Invitational.
While it’s on a different track this year, Scott will no doubt have fond memories of his return to the event and his history at Torrey Pines is as solid as they come.
While he hasn’t played on the course since the 2021 U.S. Open, Scott did finish in second place in 2019 and tied for 10th at the event in 2021. With a tie for 22nd to open the season at The Sentry, Scott then followed it up with a tie for 22nd at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Sitting 24th in the official world golf rankings, keep an eye on Scott this week as he looks to break a five-year winless drought.
Three-time PGA Tour winner Wyndham Clark is in action for the third straight week and will look to build off last weeks WM Phoenix Open where an opening round of 64 had him in the lead following the first day of play.
Sitting at an impressive seventh in the official world golf rankings, Clark has won three of his last 38 events entered and seems to have found help with the putter recently.
Clark tied for 37th his last time playing Torrey Pines two seasons ago, but the former U.S. Open champion should feel right at home in what is expected to be tough conditions this week in San Diego.
