Genesis Invitational relocated due to wildfires in Los Angeles

The upcoming Genesis Invitational has been moved from the Riviera Country Club because of the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, the PGA Tour confirmed on Thursday.

Tiger Woods was due to host the tournament, set to run from 13 to 16 February, on the course located in Pacific Palisades, which has been decimated by the fires.

Details of a new venue and arrangements for the event are set to follow.

"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 PGA Tour said in a statement.

"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.

"We have determined that The Genesis Invitational 2025 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."
