The Genesis Invitational golf tournament, which earlier announced it would move away from Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades due to the Los Angeles-area wildfires, will be held next month on the South Course of Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego,

The Genesis Invitational, which is hosted by Tiger Woods, is among the PGA Tour’s eight “signature” events, with limited fields of the tour’s top players and increased prize money. Its $20 million payout is more than double the $9.3 million being offered this year at the Farmers.

The tournament hosted by Tiger Woods is relocating from Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades due to ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

Tiger Woods-hosted PGA Tour event moved to Torrey Pines after Los Angeles wildfires - The San Diego course will step in with Riviera Country Club unable to host the event after devastating wildfires

Riviera Country Club sits right in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, which was devastated by a fire earlier this month.

It’s official: The PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational will move to Torrey Pines Golf Course. The tournament at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, hosted by golf icon Tiger Woods, was displaced because of the devastating fires in Pacific Palisades.

Tiger Woods admitted that it was "very difficult" to relocate The Genesis Invitational to Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego in the wake of the wildfires in California.

Tiger Woods said the goal was to keep the Genesis Invitational on or near the West Coast. It was moved to Torrey Pines outside of San Diego.
