The Genesis Invitational 2025 Golf Picks & Predictions

Course Overview

The Genesis Invitational relocated to Torrey Pines South Course in San Diego for the 2025 edition following the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that affected Riviera Country Club’s surrounding area. Torrey Pines South Course plays to 7,765 yards at par 72 — one of the longest layouts on Tour — with Poa annua greens, ryegrass fairways, and ocean views on many holes from the clifftop location in La Jolla.

As a limited-field Signature Event of 72 players, the Genesis Invitational attracts a world-class lineup. The reduced field with no cut until the 54-hole mark means every contender is a genuine threat. Torrey Pines South demands elite ball-striking above all other skills.

What to Look For

Players with experience at Torrey Pines and strong performance in strokes gained: approach should be prioritised. The Genesis Invitational typically features the best field outside of major championships on the PGA Tour schedule.

Competitor	Tip Type	Odds	Units	Result	Rationale
Sepp Straka	Win	60/1(+6000)	1.00	LOSS	PLAYING SUPERBLY LATELY: If you have been following me in the GOLF for a while, then you would know I was singing his praises all in 2024. The bugger paid handsomely in a few with +$20 to run Top 10 & honestly I have yet to back him in 2025 (possibly his best to date) as he ran- 1st x American Express T7 @ Pebble Beach 15 x WM Phoenix Open However, for the 5 x PGA events in 2025 he has carded, he has recorded scores of -21, -9, -25, -16 & -12. The best I have seen him play, as he has always been known to be a slow starter, and by Day 3 & 4, he starts moving, but he has bettered his finishing (PUTTING). Currently in 43rd x SG Putting ( it was terrible +100) 5th x SG Total 49 x Off the Tee 5th x SG Approach to Green ( this stat he was also woeful sitting in 70th) ****It was well noted recently that he was playing with a MAJOR FLU, so the effort was even better. He is trending the best he has ever in the PGA & $10 to Run Top 5 Only. I also have him in my 6 players for the PGA Fantasy game.
Min Woo Lee	Win	70/1(+7000)	1.00	LOSS	HITTING HIS STRIDE 🚀: Now if I thought SEPP was trending the little Aussie is actually flying lately with 2 great finishes from 2 events thus far in the PGA. A T17 @ Pebble Beach @ -11 & last week @ WM Phoenix he shot all 4 days under 70 for a -13 but it gets even better as he really has come on with a coach for his striking. 8th in SG total & 23rd off the Tee that is amongst 20 of the Worlds most elite golfers, Sure his putting needs big Improvement but we saw at this very course that winner Harris English was terrible (stat wise overall). VERY COMPETITIVE and if he can stay in the Top 10 throughout he can challenge. I have only ever backed him maybe 4 x previously & it is because he would start at low odds on HYPE that was mostly in 2022 to 2023 as looking at markets there are some playesr under $100 in this that should be +$400. All on Hype. This Auusie can back it up with recent stats. He too is a part of my Top 6 in the PGA game so I have gone HEAVY on OFF THE TEE & those that can at least score the odd birdie, this should see scores alter quickly so placement is paramount. I have also backed him for Top 5 @ $10.50, $10 & $8.20 my Biggest Play of the Top 5 markets & covered him Top 10 @ $5.20, My nhope is to cover my total outlay on the aussie overall.
Si Woo Kim	Win	110/1(+11000)	1.00	LOSS	THE ROUGHEST OF THE 4 🙏: I was deciding who to incude as the 4th pick as I backed a few more but I had a small saver on him last week and he was WOEFUL on day 1 with a 74 round. He switched on Day 2 with a tidy 66 followed by closng 67 & 67 to finish @ -10, Obviously Day 1 was crushing & the damage already done. However he too is a stat marvel & my Golf software that updates my Barn of 50 players (this is only 70 here too by the way as it is a Signature event) has him Top 5 this week. Currently sits-15th off the Tee & sits around Top 40 in Most other stats, Now that is not just in the Top 70 here that is around the World. It is very rare to see him CUT x 2 in 2025 but of the 20 rounds he has played he has been mid 60s & under 70 in 11 & I feel he ha splenty of improvement to come. He actually also sits #2 in rankings for the Longest drives. SWK is part of my 6 man team over @ PGA Fantasy game and I was deciding to put him or TOM KIM as the 4th pick, I mean I backed TOM KIM @ $70 to Win & Top 5 @ $8.80, Top 10 @ $5.60. Also have SI WOO KIM @ $16 to Top 5 , all plays on Betfair. ***READ the Pre summary comments as that will advise who I have also backed. It is the rant & rave section as I call it!
Shane Lowry	Win	55/1(+5500)	1.00	LOSS	VERY WELL SUITED 💪: PGA The Genesis Invitational 2025 TORREY PINES GOLF COURSE (SOUTH COURSE) San Diego, California, USA Friday 14th Feb to Monday 17th Feb Tee off @ 04:30am Check times As I am typing the wind is already up to 15mph. LOWRY has 7 x 1sts to his name (3 x PGA +4 XInternational) but he has been 14 x Top 5 & a staggering 30 x Top 10 finishes (from only 187 events). Lowry is currently 11th overall in all stats TEE to Green & when we disect the significant stats which is mainly SG (strokes Gained) & Putting, I also look at approach to Greens with a host of others. NOW it is moved to Torrey Pines look for players that can drive the Ball Long (with accuracy) and those with great approach shots onto the Green, now Putting is always important but when Harris English Won the Farmers here he was 65th in Putting. Lowry is currently- SG total x 4th SG Off the Tee x 15th SG Approach Greens x 27th SG Putting x 14th It is good because normally you get big hitters who are 100th in Putting or vice versa, Lowry is well rounded. NOT @ SHORT odds really seeing he grew playing golf in shite conditions. He should give us a sight here. I am on Top 5 @ $9 &Top 10 @ $5.10. He is my CAPTIAN in the PGA comp (double the points)

PLAYING SUPERBLY LATELY:

If you have been following me in the GOLF for a while, then you would know I was singing his praises all in 2024.

The bugger paid handsomely in a few with +$20 to run Top 10 & honestly I have yet to back him in 2025 (possibly his best to date) as he ran-

1st x American Express
T7 @ Pebble Beach
15 x WM Phoenix Open

However, for the 5 x PGA events in 2025 he has carded, he has recorded scores of -21, -9, -25, -16 & -12.

The best I have seen him play, as he has always been known to be a slow starter, and by Day 3 & 4, he starts moving, but he has bettered his finishing (PUTTING).

Currently in 43rd x SG Putting ( it was terrible +100)
5th x SG Total
49 x Off the Tee
5th x SG Approach to Green ( this stat he was also woeful sitting in 70th)

****It was well noted recently that he was playing with a MAJOR FLU, so the effort was even better.

He is trending the best he has ever in the PGA & $10 to Run Top 5 Only.
I also have him in my 6 players for the PGA Fantasy game.

HITTING HIS STRIDE 🚀:

Now if I thought SEPP was trending the little Aussie is actually flying lately with 2 great finishes from 2 events thus far in the PGA.

A T17 @ Pebble Beach @ -11 & last week @ WM Phoenix he shot all 4 days under 70 for a -13 but it gets even better as he really has come on with a coach for his striking.

8th in SG total & 23rd off the Tee that is amongst 20 of the Worlds most elite golfers, Sure his putting needs big Improvement but we saw at this very course that winner Harris English was terrible (stat wise overall).

VERY COMPETITIVE and if he can stay in the Top 10 throughout he can challenge.

I have only ever backed him maybe 4 x previously & it is because he would start at low odds on HYPE that was mostly in 2022 to 2023 as looking at markets there are some playesr under $100 in this that should be +$400.

All on Hype.

This Auusie can back it up with recent stats.

He too is a part of my Top 6 in the PGA game so I have gone HEAVY on OFF THE TEE & those that can at least score the odd birdie, this should see scores alter quickly so placement is paramount.

I have also backed him for Top 5 @ $10.50, $10 & $8.20 my Biggest Play of the Top 5 markets & covered him Top 10 @ $5.20, My nhope is to cover my total outlay on the aussie overall.

THE ROUGHEST OF THE 4 🙏:

He switched on Day 2 with a tidy 66 followed by closng 67 & 67 to finish @ -10, Obviously Day 1 was crushing & the damage already done.

VERY WELL SUITED 💪:

PGA The Genesis Invitational 2025
TORREY PINES GOLF COURSE (SOUTH COURSE)
San Diego, California, USA
Friday 14th Feb to Monday 17th Feb
Tee off @ 04:30am Check times

As I am typing the wind is already up to 15mph.

LOWRY has 7 x 1sts to his name (3 x PGA +4 XInternational) but he has been 14 x Top 5 & a staggering 30 x Top 10 finishes (from only 187 events).

Lowry is currently 11th overall in all stats TEE to Green & when we disect the significant stats which is mainly SG (strokes Gained) & Putting, I also look at approach to Greens with a host of others.

NOW it is moved to Torrey Pines look for players that can drive the Ball Long (with accuracy) and those with great approach shots onto the Green, now Putting is always important but when Harris English Won the Farmers here he was 65th in Putting.

Lowry is currently-
SG total x 4th
SG Off the Tee x 15th
SG Approach Greens x 27th
SG Putting x 14th

It is good because normally you get big hitters who are 100th in Putting or vice versa, Lowry is well rounded.

NOT @ SHORT odds really seeing he grew playing golf in shite conditions. He should give us a sight here. I am on Top 5 @ $9 &Top 10 @ $5.10.

He is my CAPTIAN in the PGA comp (double the points)
