Three weeks ago at the Farmers Insurance Open at the Torrey Pines course, Ludvig Aberg was the co-leader after 36 holes. He though later had to withdraw from the event due to an illness. This week, he came back at the Torrey Pines course and finished off the job as he took home the 2025 Genesis Invitational title.

This year the signature event hosted by Tiger Woods was held at the Torrey Pines course in California. The decision to play away from the Rivera Country Club, the original home of the Genesis Invitational, came after the widespread of the Palisades fire in Los Angeles.
