The PGA Tour has named the replacement venue for the second Signature Event of the season.

It was confirmed last week that the Genesis Invitational – played annually at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles and hosted by Tiger Woods – would be relocated after fires devastated the region.

While Riviera was unharmed, the private club in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood is temporarily closed.

As a result, the Tour has moved the event – which takes place from February 10-16 – to the South Course at Torrey Pines, in San Diego, home of this week’s Farmers Insurance Open.

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said: “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.

Meanwhile, Woods added: “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.”

The move was rumoured over the last week and appeared to be backed by a handful of withdrawals from this week’s event at Torrey Pines.

Max Homa became the 15th player to pull out of the event either before or during the competition, which got underway on Wednesday.

World No.2 Xander Schauffele headlined the list of stars omitted from the field, while Collin Morikawa, Will Zalatoris and Akshay Bhatia were also pre-tournament WDs.

The 2026 Genesis Invitational is expected to return to The Riviera Country Club, while this year’s event will include a number of Los Angeles-related relief initiatives.
