The PGA Tour is relocating the Genesis Invitational from wildfire-affected Los Angeles to Torrey Pines in San Diego. The tournament, hosted by Tiger Woods, will take place February 13-16 with a focus on supporting fire victims. The event will return to Riviera Country Club in 2024.
The PGA Tour is relocating the Genesis Invitational out of wildfire-ravaged Los Angeles, announcing Friday it will be held Feb. 13-16 on the South course at Torrey Pines in San Diego with an emphasis on relief initiatives for victims of the fires.The tour said the $20 million signature event hosted by Tiger Woods would return to Riviera Country Club next year.
The announcement came as the South course at Torrey Pines was preparing for the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open. “This wasn’t a bid process. It wasn’t about getting something. It was being able to be chosen to help,” Gorsich said. “I think here in San Diego, we compete so much with LA on the field and consider them a rival, yet we’re all SoCal together.
Woods is an eight-time winner as a pro at Torrey Pines, including the 2008 U.S. Open. He last played Torrey Pines in 2020 and tied for ninth, his last top 10 on the PGA Tour.
