Tiger Woods highlighted the significance of keeping the Genesis Invitational tournament in Southern California amidst the area's recovery following devastating wildfires. Although the event traditionally takes place at Riviera Country Club, which remains closed due to the fires, it will now be hosted at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Woods stressed the importance of awareness and fundraising for affected communities. He mentioned that staying in Southern California would allow for greater support for those impacted by the fires, noting the emotional connection locals have with the situation.
"There were so many different options out on the table, and we were trying to be understanding to all the victims that these fires have caused."
"With respect to the difficulties in L.A., I think it's important that we were able to stay in Southern California because everyone who was born and raised out in Southern Cal can all relate to the fires."
