2026 Genesis Invitational odds, picks: Proven golf model reveals projected leaderboard, surprising predictions

The 2026 PGA Tour continues this week as the 2026 Genesis Invitational tees off Thursday at The Riviera Country Club. It's the final stop on the California Swing, and the second of three Signature Events in a four-week span.

It's a loaded field that includes Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and the past two Genesis Invitational winners -- Ludvig Aberg and Hideki Matsuyama -- as well as last week's winner at Pebble Beach, Collin Morikawa. 

The latest 2026 Genesis Invitational odds via FanDuel Sportsbook list Scheffler as the +300 favorite (risk $100 to win $300), Rory McIlroy at +1100. Hideki Matsuyama is +2000, with Morikawa at +2500 and Aberg at +3300. Longshots include Justin Rose (+4500) and Rickie Fowler (+5000).
