Genesis Invitational 2025 LIVE: Round 3 tee times, leaderboard, prize money and how to follow as McIlroy and Scheffler face off

Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are set for a blockbuster weekend battle at the $20million Genesis Invitational.

The Genesis is the third of eight Signature Events this season and the action is heating up at Torrey Pines.

The tournament was moved from its traditional home at Riviera Country Club due to the recent wildfires in California.

Storming weather in San Diego then made conditions extra tough on the opening day.

But an improved set-up on Friday saw World No.1 Scheffler, recent Pebble Beach champion McIlroy and host of other names go low and set up an intriguing weekend.

American 25-year-old Davis Thompson leads the way at 8-under with Scheffler one shot back.

Tiger Woods is the host of the Genesis but had to withdraw from the event earlier this week following the sudden death of his mother, Kultida.

The Genesis paid a touching tribute to Kultida during Thursday’s opening round and the PGA Tour hope Woods will make an appearance at the event over the weekend.

Genesis Invitational 2025: What has been said?

Japan star Matsuyama claimed glory in the Genesis last year, romping to victory at Riviera.

However, the tournament has been moved to Torrey Pines this week due to the horrific recent wildfires in California.

In a statement, the event said: “The PGA TOUR’s focus continues to be on the safety and well-being of those affected by the unprecedented natural disaster in Greater Los Angeles.

“We are grateful for the life-saving efforts of first responders and the tireless work being done to put an end to the tragic wildfires.

“In collaboration with Genesis, The Riviera Country Club and TGR Live, and out of respect for the unfolding situation, we have determined that the 2025 Genesis Invitational will be played at an alternate location the week of February 10-16.

“The PGA TOUR is identifying the most impactful ways the tournament can support the Los Angeles community and the ongoing relief efforts.”

Torrey Pines, which hosted the US Open in 2008 and 2021, is the traditional venue of the Farmers Insurance Open which Harris English won just last month.
