Just this week, collegiate golfers across the country tee’d off at the Genesis Invitational Collegiate Showcase. This tournament provides an exciting opportunity for players to earn their way into The Genesis Scottish Open field, while competing for a $50,000 donation to support their college golf program.
First held in 2015, this year’s tournament will be contested for the 10th time.
What is the Collegiate Showcase?
The Collegiate Showcase features a standout collegiate golfer paired with three amateurs representing a college/university competing in both a team and individual competition. The team’s three amateurs play a best-ball round with the top three-person team winning a $50,000 donation to the school’s golf program. Not only that, but the low collegiate golfer will earn an exemption into the 2024 Genesis Scottish Open.
The Collegiate Showcase allows your golf program to experience Riviera during one of the PGA TOUR’s Signature events, while awarding the winning collegiate golfer the opportunity to compete in a co-sanctioned PGA TOUR & DP World Tour event outside of your college golf season.
Benefits to receiving an exemption into the Genesis Scottish Open include:
- PGA TOUR U points.
- Possibility of playing for qualifying into The Open (Final Qualifying for The Open is the week prior to the Genesis Scottish Open).
- Player can turn professional and play as a pro in the tournament.
- Playing in a co-sanctioned PGA TOUR & DP World Tour event
- Playing in an elite field that drew 8 of the top 10 in the world in 2023, and continues to grow in stature.

Cole Rueck Wins!
Cole Rueck of Boise State University won the 2024 Genesis Invitational Collegiate Showcase, defeating Petr Hruby of University of Washington in a playoff. For the second consecutive year, players needed extra holes in order to crown a champion. Rueck won with a birdie #11, the second playoff hole, after both players made par on the infamous, drive-able par 4 10th.
Despite coming in behind Rueck, the amateur group playing with Hruby secured the team competition and earned the $50,000 donation to their golf program at the University of Washington.
