The Tiger Woods-hosted Genesis Invitational will be relocated to Torrey Pines following the Los Angeles wildfires.
The Riviera County Club was due to stage the PGA Tour signature event between February 13-16 but that course is in the Pacific Palisades area of Southern California which has been decimated.
With the disaster ongoing and out of respect for those affected, the tournament will switch to San Diego before an expected return to Riviera in 2026.
Torrey Pines is already a regular venue on the PGA Tour, hosting the Farmers Insurance Open, while it also staged the US Open in 2008 and 2021, won by Woods and Jon Rahm respectively.
Woods said: “We are grateful to the city of San Diego and Torrey Pines for hosting the 2025 Genesis Invitational, and to everyone who has reached out in support of the tournament.
“While Riviera remains the home of The Genesis Invitational, we look forward to playing on another championship-calibre golf course this year and using the tournament to support those affected by the fires in the Los Angeles area.”
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan added: “As we’ve seen the last two weeks, sports can be a great diversion but an even greater unifier in bringing people together for a common cause.
“Highlighting the resilience of Los Angeles and the need for continued support for the ongoing recovery efforts is what our collective teams are working towards with the playing of The Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines.”
This year’s Genesis Invitational will include a number of Los Angeles-related relief initiatives, with details to be released in due course.
