2022 Genesis Invitational Open Recap

Joaquin Neimann survived a rush from Colin Morikawa and Cameron Young to finish at -19, a couple of strokes ahead of Morikawa and Young, to win the 2022 Genesis. Neimann is now at LIV golf

So Joaquin won’t tee off on Thursday to defend his title. After Morikawa’s and Young’s tied second, Viktor Hovland and Adam Scott finished a tied fourth. Scottie Scheffler shot a -12 to finish a tied seventh.

2023 Genesis Invitational Top Pick

Justin Thomas played at the 2022 Genesis Invitational. Thomas shot a 67-64-70-70 on his way to a -13. Thomas finished sixth.

After a pair of back-to-back twenty-fifth place finishes at the Sentry Tournament and Farmers Insurance Open, JT busted out with a fourth place finish at the WM Phoenix Open.

Thomas shot each round better than the previous after going 71-68-67-65 at TPC Scottsdale. For sure, Justin can play well enough at Riviera CC to win this.

2023 Genesis Invitational Second Pick

Jon Rahm offer chalk odds in every tournament where he tees off. The Genesis Invitational is no different.

John played well enough to win the Phoenix Open. The problem is that he ran into an inspired Scottie Scheffler and a no holds barred Nick Taylor, who finished second behind Scottie.

Rahm still picked up a decent $1.4 million paycheck. No doubt, he’ll play better than last year’s tied twenty-first. So if you like Rahm, go for it.

2023 Genesis Invitational Third Pick

Scottie Scheffler finished a tied seventh at last year’s event. The fact he tees off a few days after pocketing over $3 mil at the WM Phoenix Open for finishing first, tells us how aggressive the 2022 PGA Tour Player of the Year is going to be in 2023.

Scheffler has put back-to-back wins together before. He can get it done, no doubt, but the odds are somewhat light. So you must believe to put him on top.

2023 Genesis Invitational Underdog Pick

After shooting a -14 at the 2022 Genesis Invitational, Viktor Hovland finished a tied fourth. Viktor comes off a terrible tied forty-second at the Phoenix Open.

But before that, Hovland finished a tied thirteenth at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. So if Hovland can get his swing working this week, he’ll have a chance. Also, we can’t argue about the odds, which are more than fair.
