Tiger Woods relocating Genesis Invitational to Torrey Pines due to California wildfires

Tiger Woods described the decision to relocate the Genesis Invitational to Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego as 'very difficult' due to devastating wildfires impacting the Los Angeles area. The tournament, originally set for Riviera Country Club, will now take place from February 13-16, with the goal of raising funds for fire victims. Woods emphasized the importance of staying within Southern California to honor those affected by the fires, noting that options had included venues in Pebble Beach, Phoenix, and Las Vegas. The PGA Tour confirmed that Riviera will host the event again in 2026, while Woods expressed hope that the new location would allow for greater fundraising efforts. This year's tournament will also feature initiatives related to Los Angeles fire relief. Woods is expected to play in the event, continuing a long-standing tradition despite the location change.
