The Genesis Invitational, historically held at Riviera Country Club since 1998, is moving to Torrey Pines Golf Course for this year's event due to severe firestorms in Southern California. Organizers, including Tiger Woods, emphasized this decision was necessary despite Riviera being unharmed. The shift, seen as a response to the devastation caused by fires impacting over 23,400 acres in the area, aims to support local relief initiatives. The event will run from February 13-16, highlighting the community's need for support following recent tragedies.
"I think it's important that we were able to stay in Southern California because everyone who's born and raised out in Southern Cal can all relate to the fires."
"While Riviera somehow went unscathed, Woods said the club 'is just not ready' to host a signature PGA Tour event with a $20-million purse."
