How to watch the 2024 Genesis Invitational online

Television coverage of the Genesis Invitational will be split between the Golf Channel and CBS, so you'll want both of those channels on your cable or satellite package if you tune in that way. However, cord cutters can get live streams of the Genesis Invitational via the live streaming television services, ESPN+ and Paramount+.

Here's a complete guide to all your options for watching the Genesis Invitational online:

1. stream the Genesis Invitational on DirecTV

One way to watch the entire Genesis Invitational online is to get a free five-day trial on the DirecTV stream. The live TV streaming service's Choice package carries CBS and the Golf Channel, as well as more than 100 other channels. If you keep the service after the free trial, you will have to pay $108.99 per month

2. stream the Genesis Invitational on fuboTV

Another way to watch the entire Genesis Invitational online is to subscribe to fuboTV, which gives you live TV streams of up to 200+ channels, including CBS and Golf Channel. fuboTV costs $79.99 per month, but subscriptions start with a seven-day free trial.

Genesis Invitational 2024 Players: Is Tiger Woods Playing?

22 of the top 24 golfers in the Official World Golf Ranking made the trip to Los Angeles for this weekend's Genesis Invitational, including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele.

However, all eyes will be on Tiger Woods, who has not appeared in the game since pulling out of the 2023 Masters. Woods was suffering from plantar fasciitis in his foot and had to withdraw for surgery during the third round of the tournament. The 48-year-old legend has never won the Genesis Invitational.
