Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard has taken on personality of Palmer himself

1 month ago | pgatour.com | Cameron Morfit

Written by Cameron MorfitArnold Palmer piloted a Boeing 747 on a test flight over Seattle and once hosted "The Tonight Show," interviewing Vice President Spiro Agnew and tennis ace Rod Laver. The winner of 62 tournaments on the PGA TOUR, and seven majors, Palmer was such a polymath that it’s hard to pin him down even now, nearly a decade after his passing in 2016.
Gary Woodland, PGA TOUR Courage Award winner, rising in 2025

Written by Cameron MorfitThe letters were the hardest part. Gary Woodland gets choked up talking about them, the agony of pouring his heart out and saying what needed to be said to his three young children and wife, a hedge against the unthinkable. Because what kind of hedge was that? If it all went wrong, how could mere words be a husband and father?

Written by Cameron MorfitThe golf is the easy part for Justin Hastings. The hard part might be summoning the wherewithal to finish school at San Diego State. The Aztecs senior, who shot a 6-under 65 at the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld on Saturday to put a top-10 finish well within reach, is missing classes to play this week. He earned his spot in the field by virtue of winning last month’s Latin American Amateur Championship, for which he also missed school.

SAN DIEGO – The Genesis Invitational was always going to be about California Rises, the initiative to help rebuild fire-stricken Los Angeles. It’s a two-hour trek north to the tournament’s usual home, The Riviera Country Club. Farther north is Stanford, alma mater of tournament host Tiger Woods, who won 11 times in college, tied for most all-time. And California really was rising. Patrick Rodgers (71, T3), also a Stanford alum with 11 wins there, seized the 54-hole lead.
Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler reprise rivalry at The Genesis Invitational

SAN DIEGO – Scottie Scheffler was 13 when Rory McIlroy won the first of his 27 PGA TOUR titles, the 2010 Truist Championship at Quail Hollow Club. If you’d have asked Scheffler then who he wanted to emulate, McIlroy would’ve been up there. And yet their roles were reversed at the recent AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am when McIlroy, 35, spoke about trying to emulate Scheffler.

SAN DIEGO – Ludvig Åberg lost 8 pounds with a mystery illness that started at the Farmers Insurance Open here at Torrey Pines three weeks ago, he said Friday. The stomach bug morphed into body aches and chills, and after shooting an opening-round 77 he withdrew from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am the following week. “It was rough for a while,” Åberg said after shooting a 6-under 66 in the second round of The Genesis Invitational at its fill-in home of Torrey Pines.
Rainy first round of The Genesis Invitational was a mind game

2 months ago | pgatour.com | Cameron Morfit

SAN DIEGO – The forecast was terrible; players and caddies alike prepared for the worst. When they got something short of that, some built a case that they were in fact lucky. Such were the mental gymnastics among those who played their way up the leaderboard in the first round of The Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines' South Course, where the weather was pea soup, a car wash, and a cry for fresh lens wipes. It was also a mind game.
Charlie Sifford Memorial Exemption recipient Danny List says it’s ‘all gravy’ at The Genesis Invitational

2 months ago | pgatour.com | Cameron Morfit

SAN DIEGO – Danny List estimates there are fewer than 10 golf courses in Ghana. And the playing conditions? “Pretty shocking for the most part,” he said. List, this year’s recipient of the Charlie Sifford Memorial Exemption, awarded annually since 2009 to advance diversity in golf, has an unusual origin story. But that’s probably an understatement.
Form, conditions favor Rory McIlroy at The Genesis Invitational

2 months ago | pgatour.com | Cameron Morfit

SAN DIEGO – Rory McIlroy is one-for-one on the PGA TOUR in 2025, making a hole-in-one in Round 1 and shooting what he called “a really good poor-weather performance” in Round 3 on the way to his AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am win. That was two weeks ago.
Collaboration elevates venue switch for The Genesis Invitational

2 months ago | pgatour.com | Cameron Morfit

SAN DIEGO – Having a game that can travel is one thing. Migrating an entire tournament 107 miles south is another matter. Such was the case for The Genesis Invitational, which was moved from The Riviera Country Club to Torrey Pines' South Course after fires swept through Los Angeles, displacing an estimated 50,000 people and doing some $275-billion worth of damage.
