Update 1/20/25 5:55 PM ET:

Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated reports Monday that according to a source, the Genesis Invitational will be relocated to San Diego and will be played at Torrey Pines Golf Course, the site of this week’s Farmer’s Insurance Open. The Genesis Invitation takes place on Feb. 10th-16th.

The PGA Tour announced that Tiger’s tournament, the Genesis Invitational held at the famed Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades annually, (this year Feb. 10-16) will be held at a new location yet to be determined due to the devastating L.A. wildfires.

Although the famed golf course was not damaged, it was under evacuation orders previously.

Here is the official statement from the PGA Tour:

The PGA TOUR’s focus continues to be on the safety and well-being of those affected by the unprecedented natural disaster in Greater Los Angeles. We are grateful for the life-saving efforts of first responders and the tireless work being done to put an end to the tragic wildfires.

In collaboration with Genesis, The Riviera Country Club and TGR Live, and out of respect for the unfolding situation, we have determined that The Genesis Invitational 2025 will be played at an alternate location the week of Feb. 10-16. A venue update and additional tournament information will be provided in the coming days.

The PGA TOUR is identifying the most impactful ways the tournament can support the Los Angeles community and the ongoing relief efforts. We encourage fans to join the support at PGATOUR.com/SupportLA.
