What a Sunday at Torrey Pines.

There were numerous lead changes. Big stars climbed up and fell down the leaderboard. And at the end, it's the Swede who's taking home the title at Tiger Woods' event.

Ludvig Aberg birdied four of his final six holes to shoot 6-under 66 in the final round and win the 2025 Genesis Invitational. Aberg led after the opening round at Torrey in the Farmers but got sick and struggled the rest of the week before WD'ing a week later at Pebble. Now, he finally has hardware at Torrey.
