The PGA Tour is expected to move the Genesis Invitational from Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles to Torrey Pines near San Diego, Golfweek and Sports Illustrated reported Monday.
The tour announced last week that Genesis would be removed from the Riviera due to nearby fires that have devastated the area.
Torrey Pines is the site of this week’s Farmers Insurance Open. The municipal course also hosted the 2008 and 2021 US Opens, won by Tiger Woods and Spaniard Jon Rahm, respectively.
Choosing Torrey Pines would be a regular option for the PGA Tour and bring the world’s best golfers to the course for the second time in a month. Genesis is scheduled for Feb. 13-16.
One of the tour’s signature events with a limited field, the Genesis Invitational is organized by the Tiger Woods Foundation.
“The PGA Tour is deeply committed to the safety and well-being of those affected by the unprecedented natural disaster in Greater Los Angeles,” the tour said in a statement. “We are very grateful for the life-saving efforts of first responders and the efforts being made to put an end to these tragic wildfires.
“In partnership with Genesis, The Riviera Country Club and TGR Live, and out of respect for the potential situation, we have decided that the Genesis Invitational 2025 will be played elsewhere the week of Feb. 10-16.”
