SAN DIEGO -- It was officially announced that The Genesis Invitational would be played at Torrey Pines this upcoming February 10-16.
Originally supposed to be played at Riviera Country Club, the relocation was due to the Palisades fire affecting the course and forcing a location change. Since the Farmers Insurance Open is being played this week, it is perfect timing to shift the plans from Los Angeles to San Diego at Torrey Pines since everything is already set up for the tournament, and the course is in tournament conditions.
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan commented on the move from Riviera to Torrey Pines.
“As we’ve seen the last two weeks, sports can be a great diversion but an even greater unifier in bringing people together for a common cause. 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. Our thanks to Tiger Woods, TGR Live and Genesis for their leadership in these efforts. We are grateful to Farmers Insurance, Mayor Todd Gloria and the City of San Diego and the Century Club for extending the invitation to relocate The Genesis Invitational to Torrey Pines.”
The tournament host, Tiger Woods, also made a small statement regarding the move.
“We are grateful to the City of San Diego and Torrey Pines for hosting the 2025 Genesis Invitational, and to everyone who has reached out in support of the tournament,” Woods said. “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 has been a long-time favorite of Torrey Pines, with one of his greatest wins coming at the course back at the 2008 U.S. Open when Woods beat Rocco Mediate on the first hole of a sudden death playoff.
The event will still be the third signature event of the season, with Hideki Matsuyama walking away with the trophy last year at a final score of 17-under.
