Okay, so I’ve been digging into the past results of the Genesis Open, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey. This tournament, which used to be called the Los Angeles Open way back when, has been around for almost a century! It’s a pretty big deal on the PGA Tour, played down in southern California.
First off, I started by figuring out where to look. Turns out, a service like Flashscore is good place to find these results. They seem to have a pretty good database of all the Genesis Invitational results.
Then I started going through the results year by year. It was a lot of data to sift through! I made a list of the winners, their scores, and any interesting notes I could find.
- 2023 – Noticed Jon Rahm won. What a beast!
- 2022 – Saw that Joaquin Niemann took the trophy, nice.
- 2021 – Max Homa, good for him!
I also found out that the tournament has a 36-hole cut. This means that after the first two rounds, only the top 50 players (plus ties) and anyone within 10 shots of the lead get to keep playing. Pretty intense, right?
The tournament is held at the Riviera Country Club, which is apparently a super fancy course. I found out that it’s ranked as one of the top 50 golf courses in the world and even hosted the Olympic golf tournament. Fancy!
Some obstacles along the way
Honestly, the hardest part was just making sense of all the information. There are so many years of results to go through, and sometimes the websites I was using were a bit tricky to navigate. Plus, some of the older results were harder to find or didn’t have as much detail. But I kept at it, determined to put together a solid record of the tournament’s history.
After a lot of clicking, scrolling, and note-taking, I finally managed to compile a pretty comprehensive list of past results for the Genesis Open. It was definitely a bit of work, but I feel like I really got a good handle on the tournament’s history and the players who have made their mark there over the years.
So, there you have it, my deep dive into the Genesis Open’s past results. I hope you found it as interesting to read about as I found it to research. It really makes you appreciate the history and the legacy of this long-standing golf tournament!
