The PGA Tour has made the decision to relocate the Genesis Invitational out of Riviera next month due to the devastating wildfires that have impacted parts of Los Angeles, including the Pacific Palisades neighborhood where Riviera is situated. The tournament, which boasts a $20 million purse and has Tiger Woods as its host, is scheduled for Feb. 13-16, with the new venue yet to be determined.
One potential option being considered is moving the event to another golf course already part of the West Coast Swing, albeit away from Los Angeles. This choice would help minimize costs and the time needed to set up a tournament site, including grandstands, corporate hospitality areas, and television structures.
