Today, the City of San Diego announced that the world-famous Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course will step forward to host the PGA TOUR’s 2025 Genesis Invitational golf tournament typically held at The Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles. The move comes in response to the devastating wildfires that have caused significant damage and impacts to the Los Angeles area.

The PGA TOUR identified Torrey Pines as an ideal alternative venue to host The Genesis Invitational due to the course’s time-tested ability to host major golf tournaments, its reputation as a challenging golf course for the world’s best players and its proximity to The Riviera Country Club, located in Pacific Palisades.

The City’s Golf Division, part of the Parks and Recreation Department, agreed to host the event as a show of solidarity to the entire Los Angeles community. Torrey Pines is currently hosting the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open® and will have only three weeks to prepare the golf course for another large-scale tournament.

“We are so fortunate to have a world-class PGA TOUR event in the Farmers Insurance Open, showcasing the beauty of Torrey Pines to players, fans and viewers around the world since 1968,” said Mayor Todd Gloria. “It was an honor for the City of San Diego to raise our collective hand when given the opportunity to help our neighbors in Los Angeles as they recover from the ongoing devastating wildfires. We look forward to welcoming The Genesis Invitational in February and offer our full support to the PGA TOUR.”

The Genesis Invitational will take place on the South Course at Torrey Pines from Thursday, Feb. 13 to Sunday, Feb. 16 with a field of 72 of the best players on the PGA TOUR. The event is hosted by TGR Live with the support of the Century Club of San Diego, and a portion of the proceeds will be used to aid the residents of Los Angeles. Tournament information, including ticket availability, can be found on GenesisInvitational.com.

Viewed by many as one of the finest municipal courses in the country, Torrey Pines Golf Course is the home to the annual Farmers Insurance Open® and hosted the 2008 and 2021 U.S. Open.

The City of San Diego Golf Division operates three golf complexes (Balboa Park, Mission Bay and Torrey Pines) and is dedicated to serving its patrons and players of all ages and abilities while enhancing their enjoyment of the game by providing a high-quality golf experience.
