LOS ANGELES \u2014 \u201cHow about that. How about that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

That\u2019s the refrain Michael Brennan repeated on a phone call with his mother following his win at the Genesis Invitational Collegiate Showcase on Monday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Wake Forest University golfer sat on the crest of the Riviera Country Club\u2019s first tee, under the Southern California sun, celebrating the 5-under-par round of 66 that earned him first place in the showcase and a spot in the PGA Tour\u2019s upcoming Genesis Invitational, and chatting with his loved ones who could not attend the tournament.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cTo be able to be out here and play Riviera today was tremendous,\u201d he said, \u201cand to be lucky enough to win and play for another couple of days is just the icing on top of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Brennan, a sophomore from Leesburg, Virginia, dominated the one-day, 18-hole tournament, triumphing over 16 other competitors in the Collegiate Showcase\u2019s largest field to date.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Later this week, he will tee off alongside some of the best golfers in the world, a rare opportunity for a college-aged player. But Mike Antolini, vice president of championships at the TGR Foundation \u2014 Tiger Woods\u2019 charity \u2014 explained that is what the competition is all about.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThis is a star-studded field on the PGA Tour,\u201d Antonlini said. \u201cIt\u2019s a marquee event. The experience [of] not only competing at the showcase, but then for that one winner competing in the Genesis Invitational, is really going to provide, I would say, years\u2019 worth of experience in a week.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Woods and his TGR Foundation have managed the Genesis Invitational and its Collegiate Showcase since 2017, paving the way for golf\u2019s brightest young stars to rise through the tour\u2019s ranks. In fact, Scottie Scheffler, who placed first in last week\u2019s Waste Management Phoenix Open, won the showcase in 2018, and Sahith Theegala, who finished in a three-way tie for third at the same event, won the showcase the year before Scheffler. Both players will return to the Genesis Invitational this year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In addition to young players, the Collegiate Showcase and the Genesis Invitational also have made it a priority to include golfers from underrepresented communities in its events through the Pathway Player and Charlie Sifford exemptions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s great for guys that might not have always had opportunities like this to really be able to come out, play with the best amateurs in the world, play with the best professionals in the world and have that spotlight on them,\u201d said Ethan Mangum, this year\u2019s Collegiate Showcase Pathway Player.<\/span><\/p>

Because philanthropy is a foundation of the Genesis Invitational, the opportunities it generates extend far beyond the game. For 25 years, the TGR Foundation has brought educational support and career training to more than 2 million students from underserved communities, a mission made possible by the tournament.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWith the Genesis Invitational, yes, we\u2019re changing lives inside the ropes with the champion on Sunday, but more so, we\u2019re impacting lives outside the ropes,\u201d Antolini said. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty special when you can take a global sporting event, but at its heart, really make an impact in the local community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

As spectators stroll the Riviera course during the invitational this weekend, they will see several signs featuring the stories of students supported by the TGR Foundation. The posts serve as a constant reminder to all that anyone can achieve excellence, if given the opportunity. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
