This tournament will be headlined by two of the biggest stars on the Tour right now – Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas. Both players have had a stellar year on the tour, and the Genesis Open is a chance for them to make a statement and add another championship to their respective trophy cabinets.
Tiger Woods is the defending champion at the Genesis Open, having won it in 2018.

The Genesis Open is expected to be a thrilling event, with some of the best players in the world vying for the championship. It promises to be a tight affair, with Woods and Thomas expected to be in contention until the very end. It is sure to be an exciting event, and one that will be remembered as one of the premier tournaments on the PGA Tour calendar.
