Genesis Invitational Betting Preview | Riviera Course Breakdown, Best Bets & Longshots | Stephie Smalls Show (Ep 203)

The Genesis Invitational is here, and the Stephie Smalls Show delivers a full betting breakdown for one of the most important stops on the PGA Tour calendar at Riviera Country Club.

Stephie is joined by Larry from Tom & Marty’s Bar, one of the sharpest and most entertaining golf bettors around, to dig into course fit, betting value, and how to attack Riviera from a wagering perspective. From outright winners to top-20 and first-round leader bets, this episode covers every angle serious golf bettors need heading into the week.

The conversation touches on elite contenders like Genesis Invitational favorites Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Collin Morikawa, while also exploring value and longshot plays featuring Wyndham Clark, Shane Lowry, Cam Young, Adam Scott, Jason Day, Harris English, and rising star Pierceson Coody.

Along the way, Larry explains why Riviera rewards elite ball striking, why recent form isn’t always everything on the West Coast swing, and how betting “guys you hate” can still be profitable. The episode also features one of the most bizarre side stories of the PGA season: Larry’s infamous Wendy’s chili bet, which has turned into a multi-week endurance test — and possibly cursed Scottie Scheffler in the process.

If you’re betting the Genesis Invitational, this episode is a must-watch.
