This week, the PGA Tour presents Draftkings golf fans with the 2025 Genesis Invitational. Let’s take a look at this week’s event from a DFS perspective.
Before I dive into my Draftkings player selections for this tournament let’s review the golf course the field will play and the key player statistics that I think are the most vital to a golfer’s success at this week’s 2025 Genesis Invitational.
Where will the 2025 Genesis Invitational be played?
The 2025 Genesis Invitational will be played at Torrey Pines (South Course) in San Diego, California. The golf course is a par 72 that measures approximately 7,765 yards.
The Genesis Invitational is traditionally played at the Riveria Country Club. However, due to the recent Los Angeles wildfires the 2025 Genesis Invitational was moved to Torrey Pines.
Hideki Matsuyama won the 2024 Genesis Invitational with a cumulative four round score of nine under par.
2025 Genesis Invitational Key Player Statistics
- GIR (greens in regulation)
- Strokes Gained: Approach
- Strokes Gained: Tee to Green
- Birdie or Better Percentage
- Strokes Gained: Par Fives
- Bogey Avoidance
I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact DFS lineup.
Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a DraftKings GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest!
2025 Genesis Invitational Draftkings Picks
Rory McIlroy $10,900
Since the beginning of September, Rory McIlroy has played nine tournaments (PGA and DP World Tours combined). In those nine events just mentioned, McIlroy amassed a rather impressive eight top 11 finishes, including a win at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am two weeks ago.
Due to Rory McIlroy’s quality finish at the 2025 Pebble Beach Pro-Am I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the event to determine how McIlroy fared relative to the field.
Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, in relation to the field, Rory McIlroy ranked first in driving distance (336.7), 19th in GIR (greens in regulation-70.8%), 15th in putting average (1.627), sixth in bogey avoidance (5) and first in total eagles made (3).
Additionally, Rory McIlroy has posted a good result at this week’s PGA Tour event in the past. McIlroy finished third at the 2020 Genesis Invitational.
Taylor Pendrith $10,200
Taylor Pendrith has accumulated four top 13 finishes in his last three tournaments played on the PGA Tour, including a seventh-place result at the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open three weeks ago. Keep in mind that the Farmers Insurance Open was played at Torrey Pines. Having stated that, I fully expect Taylor Pendrith to continue his outstanding play at this week’s 2025 Genesis Invitational.
Keegan Bradley $7,700
The 2011 PGA Championship winner has compiled three top 15 finishes in his last four tournaments played on the PGA Tour, including a sixth-place result at the 2025 Sony Open last month.
Cameron Davis $6,800
The talented Australian arrives at this week’s event on the heels of two consecutive top 18 finishes on the PGA Tour, including a fifth-place result at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am last month.
In my opinion, Cameron Davis’s low Draftkings price of only $6,800 presents the best value of any player on this week’s PGA Tour DFS slate.
