It&#8217;s the final stop on the California Swing, and the second of three Signature Events in a four-week span.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a loaded field that includes Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and the past two Genesis Invitational winners &#8212; Ludvig Aberg and Hideki Matsuyama &#8212; as well as last week&#8217;s winner at Pebble Beach, Collin Morikawa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The latest 2026 Genesis Invitational odds via FanDuel Sportsbook list Scheffler as the +340 favorite (risk $100 to win $340), Rory McIlroy at +2200. Hideki Matsuyama is +2200, with Morikawa at +3000 and Aberg at +4000.<\/p>\n<p>Before locking in any 2026 Genesis Invitational picks, you NEED to see the golf prediction and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.<\/p>\n<p>Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, simulates every PGA Tour tournament 10,000 times, and has a lengthy history of being extremely profitable.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with the 2026 Genesis Invitational field locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising.<\/p>\n<p>One major surprise the model is calling for this week: Hideki Matsuyama, who won this event in 2024, doesn&#8217;t even crack the top 5 this week! Another surprise: Chris Gotterup is in the top five on the initial projected leaderboard despite being a +3000 longshot! He&#8217;s a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday!<\/p>\n<p>The model is also targeting four other longshots of +2700 or higher to make a strong run!\u00a0Anyone who backs these golfers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any PGA picks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2026 PGA Tour continues this week as the 2026 Genesis Invitational tees off Thursday at The Riviera&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":472783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-472782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=472782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/472783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=472782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=472782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=472782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
