Will Rickie Fowler play in the 2025 Genesis Invitational? Eligibility and past results explored

Rickie Fowler will be competing in the 2025 Genesis Invitational after withdrawing from the WM Phoenix Open last week due to illness. The Riveria Country Club is the usual host of the event, but due to wildfires in Los Angeles, the Torry Pines South Course is the new host.

Fowler had a poor season last year on the PGA Tour as he finished 101st in the season-long FedExCup rankings and is currently ranked 91st on the OWGR, making him not eligible to compete in the signature events this season.

Despite that, Rickie Fowler is playing in the 2025 Genesis Invitational this week as one of the sponsor exemptions. The 36-year-old has received a sponsor exemption along with Jordan Spieth, Min Wo Lee and Gary Woodland.

The 2025 Genesis Invitational is all set to begin this week on February 13th at the Torrey Pines South Course. The tournament hosted by Tiger Woods is one of the eight signature events, so the field has limited players with prominent names competing.

Rickie Fowler has previously competed in the Genesis Invitational and finished 35th in last year's event. His best performance at the Genesis Invitational came in 2023 and 2021, where he finished 20th in the event.

• 2024: Finished 35th (-3) | Rounds: 70-69-71-71
• 2023: Finished 20th (-5) | Rounds: 68-75-69-67
• 2022: Finished 55th (-2) | Rounds: 71-71-69-71
• 2021: Finished 20th (-3) | Rounds: 70-71-73-67

So, Rickie Fowler will be hopeful of a better performance at the 2025 Genesis Invitational this week.
