2025 Genesis Invitational won't be played at Riviera Country Club, alternate site to be named soon
The Genesis Invitational is slated to begin in four weeks, but in 2025, the golf tournament won't be at its normal site.
The PGA Tour announced Thursday due to the tragic wildfires affecting the Los Angeles area, including Pacific Palisades, site of Riviera Country Club, the Genesis Invitational will take place at an alternate location.
"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," the Tour said in a release. "We are grateful for the life-saving 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.
"The PGA Tour is identifying the most impactful ways the tournament can support the Los Angeles community and the ongoing relief efforts. We encourage fans to join the support at PGATOUR.COM/SupportLA."
The Genesis is one of three player-hosted signature events on the PGA Tour. Tiger Woods is the host of the Genesis.
