The Genesis Invitational is taking place at Torrey Pines in California, moved from its usual venue of the Riviera Country Club due to the Los Angeles wildfires. Play will take place on the South Course, which is the more challenging and picturesque of the two courses at Torrey Pines, featuring recently in the Farmers Insurance Open and previously hosting the US Open.
The tournament is the seventh event on the 2025 PGA Tour and the third Signature Event, with a total prize pot of $20,000,000. Tiger Woods was set to make his eagerly-anticipated season debut but the 15-time Major winner has pulled out due to the recent death of his mother, Kultida, even if he'll still be on hosting duties. It's still a high-class field, though, featuring world No.1 Scheffler, four-time Major winner McIlroy, and the 2024 champion Hideki Matsuyama.
The four-day tournament will be broadcast extensively around the world, so read on for all the details on how to watch The Genesis Invitational live streams and TV broadcasts wherever you are in the world.
The Genesis Invitational: US broadcasters
Fans in the host country of the US can watch The Genesis Invitational through three separate broadcasters: ESPN+, The Golf Channel, and CBS / Paramount+.
In a nutshell, ESPN+ offers the most comprehensive coverage with a multi-feed streaming offering, while traditional TV viewers will find the earlier action on The Golf Channel before having to switch over to CBS for the tournament's denouement.
ESPN+
ESPN+, the streaming platform of the US sports broadcasting giant, has a partnership with the PGA Tour and boasts between nine and 10 hours of coverage every day of The Genesis Invitational across four separate feeds. This includes featured holes and featured groups for those who want to hone in on the action, but there's also a traditional main feed that shows all the important stuff in one place.
The Golf Channel
The Golf Channel has coverage of all four days, but will miss the crucial late action on the final two days. It will show four hours of action from the first two rounds and then two hours early in the final two rounds, before CBS steps in.
The Golf Channel comes on most cable TV packages and while existing cable customers can watch a simulcast online on the NBC Sports app, there is no dedicated streaming platform for The Golf Channel. It does, however, come on a number of 'cord-cutting' TV streamers, such as Sling TV and Fubo.
CBS / Paramount +
CBS will broadcast the final two days of action, with four hours from the third round and three-and-a-half hours from the final round, capturing the critical phase of the tournament.
