The 2026 Genesis Invitational kicks off the weekend with round three on Saturday, February 21 at Riviera Country Club. You can find the full Genesis Invitational start times for Saturday’s third round at the bottom of this post as soon as they are released.
Featured Genesis start times for round 3
PGA Tour stars such as Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa and Tommy Fleetwood battle for position heading into the weekend in Riviera.
After Round 2 of the Genesis Invitational, the cut will be made, with the top 50 players earning tee times to play Saturday’s third round (Scottie Scheffler has work to do to make the cut after struggling in Round 1).
We won’t know the exact Saturday start times for the Genesis until the second round is completed Friday evening. Once the final putts fall, players are assigned to tee times based on position on the leaderboard, with those at the bottom of the leaderboard teeing off first and the leaders teeing off last.
We can look to the past to get a good idea of what the Round 3 start times will be this year. At the 2024 Genesis Invitational, the last played in Riviera, Denny McCarthy opened the third round at 10:20 a.m. ET. Patrick Cantlay and Luke List split the final pairing, teeing off at 2:40 PM ET.
We can expect Genesis’ third round start times to fall in a similar window in 2026, although they may play in three-man groups.
