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. “While Riviera remains the home of the Genesis Invitational, we look forward to playing on another championship caliber golf course this year and using the tournament to support those affected by the fires in the Los Angeles area,” Woods said. Torrey Pines has been part of the PGA Tour since 1968 and has hosted two U.S. “Highlighting the resilience of Los Angeles and the need for continued support for the ongoing recovery efforts is what our collective teams are working towards with the playing of the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said. Torrey Pines twice has held tournaments five months apart when the U.S. Open was held on San Diego’s fabled municipal course in 2008 and 2021.
