The field for the 2026 Genesis Invitational has been finalized following the PGA Tour's entry deadline. The tournament will take place at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, from February 19 to 22. It features top players including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Xander Schauffele, with Ludvig Aberg as the defending champion.
The 2026 Genesis Invitational marks the sixth event in the PGA Tour schedule and serves as the second Signature event of the year. Scheduled for four days from Thursday to Sunday, the 72-player field will compete at Riviera Country Club, returning to its traditional venue after last year's relocation to Torrey Pines' South Course due to wildfires in southern California.
Headlining the tournament are prominent golfers such as Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Xander Schauffele. Ludvig Aberg enters as the defending champion from the previous edition. The event offers 700 FedEx Cup points to the winner and a $20 million purse. Notably, 41 players from the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking are included among the contenders.
Qualification pathways include the Aon Swing 5, determined by performances at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, with participants Pierceson Coody, Ryo Hisatsune, Matt McCarty, Jake Knapp, and Patrick Rodgers securing spots. The Aon Next 10 consists of players ranked 51st to 60th in the FedEx Cup Fall standings from the prior season. There are no Monday qualifiers for this invitational.
In case of withdrawals, the alternate list begins with Joe Highsmith and Stephan Jaeger. This mainland U.S. event continues the PGA Tour's 2026 season progression.
