After three days of action from Riviera Country Club, we’ve reached the final round of play at the 2022 Genesis Invitational. Below, find everything you need to know about tournament money, including payout information, winner’s share and more.
Genesis Invitational final round preview
Joaquin Niemann is on a record-setting pace through three days of play at the Genesis Invitational. At 19 under, the 23-year-old currently holds the lowest 54-hole score ever at Riviera, an event dating back to the mid-20th century. Niemann enters Sunday’s final round holding a three-stroke lead over the remainder of the field. A win on Sunday would be the second PGA Tour victory for the Chilean-born pro, who has also added two playoff losses. The good news for Niemann? He has only one player (Cameron Young) within six strokes of his mark heading into the final round.
Further back, Viktor Hovland (-13), Justin Thomas (-12), Collin Morikawa (-11) and last week’s winner, Scottie Scheffler (-10) all enter Sunday in need of brilliant final rounds AND some help in order to launch themselves back into contention.
Below, find everything you need to know about payout information, including winner’s share, for the Genesis Invitational’s $12 million purse; you can catch the action beginning at 3 p.m. ET on CBS.
