Genesis Open Odds, TV Schedule, Tee Times: Tiger is Grouped With Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas
By Michael Shamburger
Tiger Woods is making his second start of the 2018 season this week at the Genesis Open at Riviera. Woods hasn’t had much success at this event. It is the only PGA Tour event that he has double-digit starts and zero wins at. However, he has looked good in his return to this point other than a few issues with his driver. Woods isn’t the only star in the field this week as he’s grouped with Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas.
Defending champion Dustin Johnson is also in the field this week. Johnson is a combined 49 under at this event over the last four years. That is 20 shots lower than any other player. He has also finished first or second in all three of his 2018 PGA Tour starts and has held the 54-hole lead or held a share of the lead after 54 holes in all three events. To say he is playing well is an understatement.

My Pick
There are some players who just have more success on some courses and for Dustin Johnson, this is one of those courses. Johnson’s stats at Riviera are crazy good, and combining that with his form this season should make him the clear favorite this week. You can’t go wrong with a DJ pick.
