This tournament has gone through many names over the years - most recently, it was the Northern Trust Open - but beginning in 2017 it became the Genesis Open, later switching to Genesis Invitational. Genesis Motors is the luxury car division of Hyundai. Along with a new title sponsor in 2017, the tournament got a new beneficiary: the college access programs of the Tiger Woods Foundation.

This event was long known as the Los Angeles Open, then hosted for a time by singer Glen Campbell, then called the Nissan Open and the Northern Trust Open. Regardless of the name, the golf tournament - first played in 1926 - has for decades taken place at historic and venerated Riviera Country Club.

Genesis Open Trivia and Notes

The Genesis Open is the fourth-oldest tournament on the PGA Tour. Singer Glen Campbell was associated with the tournament for many years. It was called the Glen Campbell Los Angeles Open from 1971 through 1983. The tournament has been played since 1926, but it took until 2003 before the tournament had its first lefthanded champion (Mike Weir). “Lighthorse” Harry Cooper (1926, 1937) and Macdonald Smith (1928-29, 1932, 1934) won a lot in the tournament’s first decade of existance. Cooper and Smith are the golfers with the most career wins on the PGA Tour without having won a major championship. Macdonald Smith and Lloyd Mangrum (1949, 1951, 1953, 1956) hold the record with four wins each in the tournament. Three-time winners are Ben Hogan (1942, 1947-48), Arnold Palmer (1963, 1966-67) and Bubba Watson (2014, 2016, 2018). Players to win the Northern Trust Open in back-to-back years are Macdonald Smith (1928-29), Ben Hogan (1947-48), Paul Harney (1964-65), Arnold Palmer (1966-67), Corey Pavin (1994-95), Mike Weir (2003-04) and Phil Mickelson (2008-09). Tiger Woods has played this event 11 times without winning. That’s the most times he’s played any event without winning it. Jack Nicklaus never won the Nissan Open. His best finish was second place in 1978. Jack Nicklaus’ professional debut came in the 1962 Los Angeles Open. He finished 50th and earned $33.33. Tiger Woods’ first PGA Tour appearance was in the 1992 Nissan Open, when the 16-year-old Woods received a sponsor exemption. Bade Didrikson Zaharias made the two-day cut at the 1945 Los Angeles Open, but missed the a second cut that took place following the third round.
