For about a month, the Genesis Open has been shaping up to be one of the best tournaments of the year. The field is stacked with eight of the top 10 players in the world, and a guy named Tiger Woods was expected to make his return to the event. Unfortunately, Woods has withdrawn with back spasms, leaving a lot of the sold-out tournament patrons disappointed, but this is still the most talented field of the year so far.
Riviera Country Club is host to the Genesis Open, formerly known as the Northern Trust Open. Riviera is a Par-71 course that plays close to 7,240 yards, making Driving Distance (DD) a key factor this week.
