When will Rory McIlroy tee off on Thursday at The Genesis Invitational 2024? Tee time and pairing explored

Rory McIlroy will tee off Round 1 of The Genesis Invitational on Thursday at 2:54 pm. The Northern Irishman will join the likes of Wyndham Clark and Max Homa at the first tee. The World No. 2 golfer will follow the grouping of World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa, and Matt Fitzpatrick at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.

McIlroy is a favorite to win The Genesis Invitational 2024. According to SportsLine, he comes into the event with 17-2 odds. The 34-year-old is only second to Scheffler, who enters the event with 7-1 odds, on the list.

It’ll be interesting to see how the ace golfer fares on the 70-man field, which features 41 of the top 50 players in the world.

It is pertinent to note that Rory McIlroy didn’t have the best of starts to the 2024 PGA Tour schedule. The four-time Major winner, who won DP World Tour’s Dubai Desert Classic in January, made his Tour debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am earlier this month. Despite joining the field as a favorite, he finished T66.

Notably, the European Ryder Cup star played The Genesis Invitational last year and managed a T29 finish as Jon Rahm lifted the trophy. He’ll be eyeing to improve on the result this time.
