“While Riviera remains home to Genesis Invitional, we are looking forward to playing at the last golf stadium this year and using the tournament to support the damaged fire in the Los Angeles region.”

“As we have seen the last two weeks, sport can be a major transformation, but it is a greater union in combining people for a common issue,” added the PGA Jay Monohan Commissioner.

“The highlight of the flexibility of Los Angeles and the need for constant support for continuous recovery efforts is what our team teams do to play Genesis Invitationalism in Torrey Pines.”

This year, Genesis Invitationalism will include a number of relief initiatives related to Los Angeles, with details that will be released in time.
