Viktor Hovland
SportsLine (via CBS Sports) believes that Viktor Hovland will turn a lot of heads at The Riviera Country Club. Hovland doesn’t have the shortest of odds (+2200) to win 2022 Genesis Invitational, but he’s shown lots of promise in his only appearance so far in his career at the said course. He finished fifth in the 2021 edition of The Genesis Invitational.

Pick
Ryan Simpson, News Editor
Patrick Cantlay
In his preview of the 2022 Genesis Invitational, TopBet News Editor Ryan Simpson revealed that he is picking Patrick Cantlay to win the tournament. Here’s what Simpson had to say about Cantlay:
“Cantlay is smoking hot this season and that’s despite not having won anything yet, just like Rahm. Cantlay nearly scored a win last Sunday but he settled for a runner-up finish behind Scottie Scheffler in the WM Phoenix Open. Even though he missed winning the crown in that tournament, Cantlay ensured that his streak of top-10 finishes continues. Prior to the WM Phoenix Open, Cantlay had a T4 in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He is 4 of 6 with three top 15s in his career at The Riviera Country Club.”
