Although Woods withdrew from last year's tournament due to illness, he is expected to participate this year following his recovery.

Scheduled to take place from February 13 to 16, 2025, the Genesis Invitational is a prestigious $20 million tournament hosted by Tiger Woods since 2019.

This tournament has a rich history, founded in 1926 and has been held annually since 1973, except for two years.

While Riviera Country Club itself has not suffered physical damage, surrounding infrastructure issues due to wildfires have made hosting the event there impractical.

The PGA Tour plans for the Genesis Invitational to return to Riviera Country Club in 2026, which will also host several prestigious golf events in the coming years.

The final two rounds of the Genesis Invitational will be broadcast on CBS from February 15-16, showcasing the tournament's significance in the PGA Tour calendar.

The decision to relocate was influenced by the desire to keep the event in California while ensuring safety for participants and spectators.

The PGA Tour has announced the relocation of the Genesis Invitational from Riviera Country Club to Torrey Pines' South Course due to ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

Torrey Pines, known for hosting significant events like the U.S. Open, is a fitting alternative with existing spectator facilities.

The Genesis Invitational will include several relief initiatives aimed at assisting those affected by the wildfires, with details to be announced later.

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan highlighted the role of sports in uniting communities, especially in the context of recovery from the wildfires.

Woods expressed optimism about the tournament at Torrey Pines, acknowledging its championship caliber and the importance of supporting wildfire victims.
