Genesis Invitational prize money: How much every player made as Tiger Woods gets nothing
Tiger Woods was unable to take advantage of the $4 million prize for winning the Genesis Invitational because he had to pull out of the competition due to sickness.
Hideki Matsuyama made a remarkable comeback, trailing by six strokes, to secure the win at the Genesis Invitational and take home a prize of $4 million. This victory was his first PGA Tour win since January 2022.
In the midst of Matsuyama’s impressive win, it is important to highlight the significant earnings received by all players during the event.
Will Zalatoris and Luke List followed Matsuyama in winnings, joining the group of players who made over one million dollars.
They both tied for second place at the Genesis Invitational with a score of -14.
Tiger Woods competed in his first PGA Tour event since April but had to withdraw due to an illness, resulting in no earnings from the tournament.
He had a mixed performance in the first round on Thursday, shooting one-over 72 with five birdies and six bogeys, and surprisingly made a shank. “The golf legend blamed the miss-hit on a back spasm.
In the second round, he started with a birdie, but his playing partner Gary Woodland confessed later that Woods seemed to be not playing well.
There were reports of Woods taking multiple bathroom breaks, and by the seventh hole, he had to withdraw.
Tour rules official Pete Dachisen drove him back to the clubhouse.”
Jordan Spieth was another notable name who didn’t finish the competition after being disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard. He mistakenly signed his scorecard indicating a par at the par-3 fourth hole during the second round.
He bogeyed after his tee shot missed the green, followed by a missed 5-foot putt to save par by just a few inches. Despite the bogey being promptly noted on the leaderboard, Spieth’s incorrect signing of the scorecard upon turning it in after his round led to his automatic disqualification from the event. He would then take full responsibility for his mistake on social media.
Both Spieth and Woods didn’t make it to the weekend so didn’t make a penny, just like all the players who failed to make the cut by being in the top half of the field at the halfway stage. Here’s how much each golfer took home after the conclusion of the 2024 Genesis Invitational.
