February 15, 2024



The 2024 Genesis Invitational, scheduled at the Riviera Golf Course in Ormond Beach, Florida, begins on February 15 with an impressive $20,000,000 prize pool. Currently, Scottie Scheffler leads as the favorite with a +550 moneyline.

Genesis Invitational Betting Preview

The Genesis Invitational is played at the Riviera Country Club, which is about 7,322 yards and features Kikuyu grass on the fairways and rough, while the greens consist of Poa Annua. This event will host a field of nearly 70 players who have earned their opportunity to play here, with the top 50 and ties moving onto the weekend.

In total, 65 of the 67 golfers playing at the Genesis Invitational are able to compete due to previous success at qualifying events. One example that allows some golfers to play is that their Official World Golf Ranking must be within the top 30.

Golfers with Best Chance to Win

Explore the compelling lineup presented in the 2024 Genesis Invitational as you assess potential contenders for your betting decisions. Analyze which golfers could excel in reaching the top 10 or clinching a victory.

Rory McIlroy +750

McIlroy is currently ranked second in the golf rankings and has performed well to start the year off strong. He has a T2 at the Dubai Invitational, followed by a win at the Dubai Desert Classic.

However, he is coming off of a T66 performance at Pebble Beach. Based on this recent stumble, he will be eager to get back on track.

Scottie Scheffler +550

So for this week, bettors might want to check out Schefffler as a top 10 pick or potentially a winner. He has consistently landed inside the top five in the last handful of starts and picking him to win every week is tough.

The best golfer in the world according to the rankings just came off a T3 finish at the Phoenix Open. Until his driving accuracy and consistency dip below the current highs, he is going to be a constant option to win.

Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick

The 2024 Genesis Invitational offers a range of golfers to consider for your bets. MyBookie currently favors Scottie Scheffler (+550) to win the event, making him a standout favorite in the field.

Justin Thomas +1400

Thomas is coming off a T12 finish at the Phoenix Open and previously placed T6 at Pebble Beach (where some of the better golfers placed in the top-50’s). His consistency is impressive, arguably not as strong as Scheffler’s, but will be a key player to watch.

He ranks third overall if you were to compare a list of players that have consistently performed well in strokes gained that will give him a chance to win. Based on his strengths, he has a great opportunity to win in this loaded field.

Final Pick: Justin Thomas +1400
