The field has been confirmed for the 2026 Genesis Invitational, one of the PGA Tour’s most high-profile events outside of the majors. The tournament, hosted annually by Tiger Woods at the renowned Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, is set to take place from February 12 to February 15. As in previous years, the event will feature a strong lineup of top players, including major champions, Ryder Cup stars, and top-ranked competitors from around the world.
Notable names in the field include two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, who headlines the list as the world number one. He will be joined by players such as Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, and Xander Schauffele, all of whom have enjoyed significant success on the PGA Tour in recent seasons. There are also several international stars confirmed, including Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland, adding global appeal to an already competitive roster.
Tiger Woods, who serves as the tournament host, is expected to compete as well, marking another appearance at Riviera following his dramatic victory in the 2023 edition. Other big names confirmed include rising stars and established veterans, ensuring that the Genesis Invitational will once again attract one of the strongest fields of the early season. The tournament’s elevated status, thanks in part to its generous prize fund and tournament privileges, continues to make it a must-play event for elite professionals.
The Genesis Invitational also continues its tradition of supporting local charities, with proceeds benefitting community organizations across Southern California. Fans attending the event can anticipate fiercely competitive golf, fan engagement zones, and opportunities to see the sport’s biggest names up close. With the field officially locked in, anticipation is building for what promises to be another memorable week at Riviera Country Club.
