Free All Golf Pick Today: To Record A Top 20 Viktor Hovland 135

Viktor Hovland has a strong track record at The Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club, posting a Top 20 finish in all four of his previous starts there. His results include a standout T4 in 2022 and consistent performances like T5 (2021), T20 (2023), and T19 (2024), showcasing how well the course suits his game—particularly his ball striking and creativity on approach shots.

After a solid T10 at the WM Phoenix Open (finishing at 12-under with rounds including a strong 65), Hovland followed up with a disappointing T58 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. That result was a letdown, especially after early promise, but it came on a very different layout with challenging weather conditions—far removed from Riviera's demands.

Riviera plays to Hovland's strengths: precision iron play, creativity around the greens, and the ability to navigate a thoughtful, strategic course rather than one relying heavily on length or scrambling in wind. With his history of success here and signs of form earlier in 2026 (including a T14 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic), this feels like a spot for a rebound.

We're confidently backing Hovland to deliver a Top 20 finish this week.
