The PGA Tour has made the decision to move one of its major tournaments away from the Greater Los Angeles area as wildfires continue to ravage the city. The Genesis Invitational was slated to be hosted by Tiger Woods between February 13 and February 16 at Riviera Country Club - the iconic golf course located in Pacific Palisades, a neighborhood left devastated by the infernos over the past week.
The Tour announced Thursday that it had made the call to relocate the event away from Riviera. It said a new venue would be determined in the coming days. 'The PGA Tour's focus continues to be on the safety and well-being of those affected by the unprecedented natural disaster in Greater Los Angeles,' a statement from the organization read.
'We are grateful for the lifesaving efforts of first responders and the tireless work being done to put an end to the tragic wildfires. 'In collaboration with Genesis, The Riviera Country Club and TGR Live, and out of respect for the unfolding situation, we have determined that the 2025 Genesis Invitational will be played at an alternate location the week of February 10-16. A venue update and additional tournament information will be provided in the coming days.
