The West Coast swing on the PGA Tour will conclude this week, and it may have saved the best for last.

Not only is the Genesis Invitational played at Riviera Country Club, one of the most elite courses in the country, but it's a designated event, so all the top players on the PGA Tour are in the field, including tournament host Tiger Woods.

This will be Woods' first official PGA Tour event since the 2022 Open Championship.

The event will have a major championship-like feel because of the loaded field playing a difficult but fair golf course.

At 7,322 yards, it's not an overly long course, but it's known for its narrow fairways and tight doglegs. As a result, players will not hit as many fairways as they are used to this week, w hich will place an emphasis on scrambling and avoiding bogeys.

And for the last time this season, players will be putting on poa greens. These are tough to figure out and give most players fits.'

The players who are most likely to have success this week are the ones who can position themselves well off the tee by working their golf ball in both directions and then scramble well around the greens.

The most exciting hole at Riviera is the drivable par-4 10th hole at just over 300 yards. While every player in the field can most likely drive the green, it is very small and surrounded by multiple deep bunkers. As a result, players are just as likely to make birdie as they are bogey.
