Golf Betting Preview and Picks: 2023 The Genesis Invitational
Following the first elevated event at the Phoenix Open, and leading favorite winner in Scottie Scheffler for the second straight year in Phoenix, the PGA Tour moves to Riviera CC for another elevated $20 million tournament and the final event of the West Coast Swing for 2023 The Genesis Invitational. We’ve had success in this event including match-up winners the past two years including on a big longshot who fit the profile for success.
Delayed posting here this week as I’ve had long travel following more Super Bowl winners. But I did provide a 2023 The Genesis Invitational betting preview in Forbes on Monday, and also dark horse picks and more coverage for FanDuel and The Duel Sports.
