Players were treated with beautiful conditions Friday at the 2025 Genesis Invitational. Following a mean day of wet and rainy weather that produced only 13-under par rounds, competitors took advantage of ideal scoring at Torrey Pines Golf Club with few doing better than the No.

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are both atop the leaderboard, setting up what should be a fun weekend at the Genesis Invitational.

The PGA Tour is at its best when the top players in the world engage each other in a man-to-man duel for the top prize. As the 2025 season progresses, it appears the top two players will be Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.

A rainy, wet, miserable day at Torrey Pines Golf Club tested the world's best in the first round of the 2025 Genesis Invitational. Taking to the South Course, players endured a brutal 18 holes and combined to post a scoring average north of two strokes over par.
