Jacob Bridgeman and Marco Penge share the 36-hole lead at 12-under, each looking for his first career PGA Tour victory. If either is going to get it at the Tiger Woods-hosted event at Riviera Country Club, they will need to hold off some of the world&#8217;s best players to collect the trophy and $4 million check.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tight in their rear view mirror is Rory McIlroy at 11 under, as the world No. 2 has his sights set on collecting another win at an iconic California venue. A year after picking up his first-ever victory at Pebble Beach last year, McIlroy is putting the same skills he&#8217;s refined with his ball-striking and ability to flight shots to use at Riviera. Just behind McIlroy is Xander Schauffele, who is starting to show a return to the form that made him a two-time major champion in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Watch Round 3 of the 2026 Genesis Invitational airing live from 3-7 p.m. on CBS,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/golf\/pga-tour\/live\/?ftag=CBS-03-10acg5f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CBSSports.com<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cbs-sports.app.link\/2AXxWyiE0ab?ftag=CBS-03-10adc3g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CBS Sports App<\/a>.
