The Genesis Invitational 2026 at a glance
The market, read in numbers
The bookmakers made Scottie Scheffler favourite for the The Genesis Invitational at 2.75/1. That is an implied 26.7% before the margin comes out, and 20.3% once the book is normalised back to 100%. On that number the market has a dominant favourite, with Xander Schauffele next in at 16/1.
The five shortest players in the market share 33.3% of the win chance between them, which leaves 66.7% spread across the other 62 priced players. That is a fairly typical shape for a full-field event: a recognisable top of the market, and a long tail where the prices are set with much less care. 29 players are priced at 100/1 or bigger.
Take the best price available on every player and the overround on this market is 17.2%. The cheapest single bookmaker on this event is BetMGM UK at 10.7% (5 @ 1/4), so taking the best price player by player is worth -6.5 points of margin before a single selection is made. We explain how the number is built in what are the bookies' margins on golf, and which books are worth having an account with in which bookie is best for golf.
Our model prices every player in the field from world ranking points, recent form and the strength of the field, then compares that price against the market. Where our number is higher than the bookmakers', there is an edge - that is the Discrepancy column in the table below. Picks are the players with the biggest edge once the each-way terms on offer are taken into account, which is why a 150/1 shot at 1/5 odds and 8 places can be a better bet than the same player at 150/1 and 5 places elsewhere.

Best available outright prices across the bookmakers we track, with the implied chance each price carries. Normalised probability removes the bookmakers' margin so the column sums to 100%.
