A crowded leaderboard (and crowded day for golf) greet Sunday at Riviera for the final round of the 2021 Genesis Invitational. Below is everything you need to know about the tournament’s purse information, including payout and winner’s share.

Genesis Invitational final round preview

It’s Sunday at the Genesis Invitational and we’ve got an absolutely packed day for golf. The top half of the field will play somewhere between 18 and 27 holes on Sunday after third-round play was suspended due to darkness on Saturday.

As for where things stand on the leaderboard, Sam Burns leads (as he has for the majority of the week) by a handful of strokes over the remainder of a crowded leaderboard. Burns (-9) is up by two strokes over the remainder of the field as he makes the turn during his third round of play Sunday. With just about 25 holes to protect his lead (and plenty of challenges and challengers lurking), Burns has his work cut out for him to emerge victorious Sunday afternoon.

Jordan Spieth is once again in the thick of things, though high winds and fading sun eventually played a role in five bogeys throughout his third round Saturday. Spieth (-4) has his work cut out for him to climb back into contention Sunday.

Also in the mix is Dustin Johnson. The World No. 1 is 7 under, two strokes back of Burns and alongside Matthew Fitzpatrick and Max Homa in a tie for second place.

Below is the payout information for Riviera’s $9.3 million purse; you can catch the action from 1-3:00 p.m. ET on Golf Channel and from 3:00 p.m. to the tournament’s completion on CBS.
