Hi Everyone,

This week, the PGA tour stops in the Los Angeles area for the Genesis Open at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.

The field has a number of the World’s top players, including Tiger Woods who had a strong performance in his 2019 PGA tour debut, finishing 20th a couple of weeks ago at Torrey Pines. Phil Mickelson is also in the field, fresh off a victory last week at Pebble Beach. Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Dustin Johnson are also in the field. The defending champion from last year is Bubba Watson, who has historically played well at Riviera Country Club. Dustin Johnson is the favorite and is coming off a recent win in a European Tour event. Local fan favorite Freddy Couples is hoping to cause a stir at the event as well.

The weather forecast is not great for the event - rain is expected on Thursday and Friday, but the weekend weather looks a little better with a mostly sunny forecast. The course has had a lot of rain leading into the event as well, which could slow down the greens and allow for lower scores.

I am adding to the fun by playing a FanDuel fantasy sports contest. Here is my fantasy team for the event:

Should be a good tournament!

Thank you for coming by,

Brian
