Here is a list of the top 5 golfers to watch at the 2024 Genesis Invitational.
1. Tiger Woods

In addition to serving as the tournament host, Woods is a competitor. His performance at the PGA Tour tournament has fans excited.
2. Rory McIlroy
Fans had high hopes for Rory McIlroy after starting the new year off well with a win at the Dubai Desert Classic. However, he struggled with his game at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He finished tied for 66th place. He hopes to bounce back and do well at the 2024 Genesis Invitational.
3. Viktor Hovland
Viktor Hovland has only competed in representative events this season and has achieved good, if not very impressive, results. He tied for 22nd at The Sentry 2024 and finished T58th at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
The Norwegian was scheduled to compete in last week’s WM Phoenix Open, but withdrew from the competition before it started. He is also one of the golfers to watch this week.
4. Scottie Scheffler

5 Nick Dunlap
Nick Dunlap, who won the 2024 American Express and became the first amateur golfer to win on the PGA Tour in 33 years, will also tee off at the Genesis Invitational.
Dunlap won the American Express as an amateur last month and immediately turned pro. He made his professional debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but struggled with his game and finished last on the leaderboard.
