The PGA Tour stays on the West Coast this week for one of this year's eight signature events. The 2024 Genesis Invitational is set to get underway on Thursday at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif.. Tiger Woods will be a part of the 2024 Genesis Invitational field and will be making his 2024 season debut. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is listed as the 7-1 favorite in the latest 2024 Genesis Invitational odds. Other top contenders include Rory McIlroy (17-2), Viktor Hovland (12-1), Xander Schauffele (14-1), Max Homa (14-1), Collin Morikawa (18-1), Patrick Cantlay (20-1), and Ludvig Aberg (20-1). The total 2024 Genesis Invitational purse is $20 million, with the winner's share coming in at $4 million.
With a massive purse on the line, it is imperative for one and done players to nail their picks this week. Should you target a favorite like Scheffler or McIlroy? Or would it make more sense to go with a long shot like Rickie Fowler or Sungjae Im? Before locking in your 2024 Genesis Invitational one and done picks, you need to see what SportsLine DFS pro and PGA expert Mike McClure has to say.
The One and Done format is growing in popularity. It has several noticeable similarities to NFL Survivor pools, with the main difference being entries are not eliminated with a bad week. Players pick one golfer per week and earn points based on their selected golfer's prize money for that tournament. Golfers can only be used once per season, and the point format makes nailing majors and big money tournaments critical.
McClure is a DFS legend with over $2 million in career winnings, and he's been red-hot on his PGA picks dating back to the PGA Tour restart in June of 2020. McClure uses his proprietary simulation model to analyze the field and crush his golf picks.
McClure nailed plenty of One and Done picks in 2023. At the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open, McClure's top One and Done pick, Max Homa, outlasted the entire field to take home his sixth career PGA Tour victory and $1.566 million. At the WM Phoenix Open, McClure nailed Scheffler winning the tournament, taking home $3.6 million.
He correctly called Jon Rahm's wins at The Masters and the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Then at the RBC Canadian Open McClure listed Nick Taylor and Tyrrell Hatton as two of his top one and done picks. Taylor would go on to win the tournament, while Hatton finished in third place. And finally, at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, his top OAD pick was eventual tournament champion Rickie Fowler.
This season, one of his top OAD picks was for The American Express was Justin Thomas, who finished in third place and took home $635,600, and at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am his top pick was Scottie Scheffler, who finished in sixth place after the final round was cancelled due to weather. Finally, at last week's WM Phoenix Open, McClure recommended OAD players use Scheffler as their pick if they hadn't done so already this season. He ended up finishing in third place, taking home $519,200.
Now, McClure has dialed in on the Genesis Invitational golf tournament and just locked in his one and done picks and PGA predictions. They are a must-see for any player looking for an edge in their One and Done pool. You can only see McClure's Genesis Invitational 2024 one and done picks at SportsLine.
Top 2024 Genesis Invitational One and Done picks
One of McClure's favorite OAD plays this week is Rory McIlroy. The 34-year-old from Northern Ireland is one of the most accomplished golfers in the world, and comes in ranked No. 2 in the Official World Golf Ranking. McIlroy has 24 career PGA Tour victories, and McClure likes his chances at adding to that total at Riviera Country Club this week.
McIlroy finished the 2023 season ranked at or near the top of the PGA Tour in several key metrics. He ranked first on the Tour in average driving distance (326.3), second in total strokes gained (2.102) and strokes gained tee-to-green (1.938), third in strokes gained of-the-tee (0.907), and eighth in strokes gained on approach (0.721). McIlroy has a long track record of success against top flight fields, and McClure believe his name will be near the top of the final Genesis Invitational leaderboard.
