Tiger Woods admitted that it was "very difficult" to relocate The Genesis Invitational to Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego in the wake of the wildfires in California.

Tiger Woods said the goal was to keep the Genesis Invitational on or near the West Coast. It was moved to Torrey Pines outside of San Diego.

As of Friday, Gorsich was doing anything he could to support the Genesis Invitational while also overseeing his own tour event with 75 golfers playing into Saturday’s final round, toward an overall purse of $9 million and a winner’s check of $1.67 million.

The Genesis Invitational golf tournament, which earlier announced it would move away from Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades due to the Los Angeles-area wildfires, will be held next month on the South Course of Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego,

Keeping the tourney in California and the proximity to Riviera Country Club were primary factors for selecting Torrey Pines for the Feb. 13-16 to the event.

The tournament hosted by Tiger Woods is relocating from Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades due to ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

The PGA Tour’s decision to move the fire-displaced Genesis Invitational from Los Angeles’ Riviera Country Club to Torrey Pines Golf Course came down to a dizzying list of moving parts. And one big hotel question.

The tour said the $20 million signature event hosted by Tiger Woods would return to Riviera Country Club next year.
