Despite the ongoing discussions, a PGA Tour official has confirmed that no official decision has yet been made regarding the relocation of the Genesis Invitational.

However, Hoffman pointed out the logistical hurdles of relocating such a significant event just weeks before it is set to occur, including the need to secure hotels and volunteers.

Other potential venues for the Genesis Invitational have been mentioned, such as PGA West’s Stadium Course and TPC Scottsdale, but moving to a non-rotating course poses additional logistical challenges.

Meanwhile, the Farmers Insurance Open is facing a lack of star power, with only two top-10 players, Hideki Matsuyama and Åberg, participating due to withdrawals from other prominent players.

Local golfer Charley Hoffman also believes Torrey Pines' South Course is a suitable alternative, noting its previous hosting of both the Farmers Insurance Open and the U.S. Open in 2021.

Ludvig Åberg has echoed this sentiment, expressing his support for relocating the Genesis Invitational to Torrey Pines, where the Farmers Insurance Open is currently taking place.

These wildfires have devastated 23,000 acres, leading to 10 fatalities and the destruction of nearly 6,000 structures, although Riviera Country Club itself has not been harmed.

The PGA Tour is currently in negotiations to relocate the Genesis Invitational, originally scheduled for mid-February, due to significant wildfire damage in the surrounding area.

Jason Day, a two-time Farmers champion, has voiced his support for moving the Genesis Invitational to Torrey Pines, highlighting its proximity to Los Angeles and Tiger Woods' historical successes at the venue.
