For those who are new, Vivid Picks is a simple fantasy sports game where you pick multiple players to go over or under their assigned line.
Even if you already bet or play other DFS-style pick-em games, Vivid Picks offers a few unique selling points:
- Using our code (BetspertsGolf) gets you a first deposit bonus of up to $250 and a $25 secured play. If you lose your first pick, up to $25, you get $25 in promo funds to play again with. That’s by far the best new user deal in the industry!
- For every pick you get right, you automatically get 10% of your stake back in free plays. So if you bet $100 on a 5-leg play and only win four of them, you still get $40 back in promo funds, which can be used on your next play.
- Users can boost each other’s plays up to 0.5X if they all tail each other. Each person tailing your play boosts it 0.1x up to 0.5x total. Follow me, “Noonan” on Vivid, to take advantage!
If you haven’t signed up, you can do so here with our exclusive code “BetspertsGolf.” If you’re a new Vivid Picks user and take advantage of our promotion, you can get full access to Betsperts Golf, including the Rabbit Hole, for just $5! More details here.
Each week, I’ll be posting this free article with a few of my favorite plays for each tournament, some reasons why, and what I would play each leg to. Also, join our Vivid Picks Discord.

All you have to do is sign up using our code (BetspertsGolf), click on “Golf,” click on the special boost pinned to the top, and your play will be boosted after you submit it!
Genesis Invitational Vivid Plays
Rickie Fowler – Total Strokes – Over 70
Rickie has looked a bit lost of late, and I don’t believe Riviera is a place that you come to get right. Over his past five starts, Fowler has lost 1.43 strokes per round to the field and hasn’t flirted with a T40 finish all season. He’s lost strokes putting in eight of his past nine measured events, and he’s coming off of a missed cut at one of his favorite tracks, TPC Scottsdale. Fowler posted his best career finish at the Genesis last year, a T20, but entered in excellent form with a T11 at Torrey Pines and a T10 at the 2023 WM Phoenix Open in his two starts leading up to it.
Sungjae Im – Total Strokes – Over 69
A similar story can be told of Sungjae Im, who has lost strokes on approach in four straight events, which is the first time he’s done that since July 2020. He’s also yet to challenge the top of the leaderboard at any of his four previous starts at Riviera, topping out with a T33 back in 2022. He missed the cut a few weeks ago at this week’s top corollary course, Torrey Pines, and followed that up with back-to-back T66 finishes at Pebble Beach and TPC Scottsdale. Despite his strong short game, Im ranked 40th in my pretournament Rabbit Hole Model this week.
Tom Kim – Total Strokes – Over 69.5
Last year’s T55 finish was Tom Kim’s debut at Riviera CC, and he didn’t break 70 in any of the four rounds. His lack of distance, paired with his inexperience on these California poa greens, cap his ceiling this week. Kim is still just 21 years old, and while his strong showings at last summer’s U.S. Open and Open Championship are encouraging, the majority of Kim’s wins and top finishes have come at courses with easy scoring conditions.
