San Diego, CA – Ludvig Åberg has won the 2025 Genesis Invitational. With a final round of 66, he would score 12-under for the tournament. This marks his second PGA Tour title. Along with the win, and 700 FedEx Cup points (enough to move into the top spot), he earned $4 million in tournament earnings.
Due to the recent fires in the Los Angeles area, this year the Genesis invitational was moved to be played at Torrey Pines, the same location that hosted the Farmer’s Insurance Open just a few weeks ago. While historically this tournament has been held at Riviera, the change in scenery didn’t affect Åberg for the worse.
For most of the day, it seemed that Maverick McNealy was destined to earn his second PGA Tour title. After shooting a 30 on the front nine of his final round, it seemed like the tournament was his to lose. However, Åberg dug deep to pull out the win. He went four under in his last six holes, culminating with a birdie putt on the last to snatch the tournament by a single stroke. McNealy’s lone bogey of the day on his 14th hole is the only thing that kept him from being in a playoff for the title. He would would finish just one behind with a score of 11-under.
Being a signature event on the PGA Tour, there was serious star-power nipping at Åberg’s heels. Those names included the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Tommy Fleetwood and Tony Finau. Scheffler would go finish in third at 9-under par, while the other three would all finish in a tie for fourth place, at 8-under par.
The next PGA Tour event will be an international one, The Mexico Open at VidantaWorld in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. There, Jake Knapp will be headlining the group of competitors as the defending champion. While many of the top players will be taking a week off following Genesis, Knapp won’t be the only one playing. The field will also include the likes of Akshay Bhatia, Padraig Harrington, Nicolai Hojgaard, and the 17-year-old Blades Brown.
