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.

The PGA Tour recently announced that Torrey's South Course would replace Riviera Country Club this year after a devastating wildfire in Pacific Palisades, 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.

It’s official: The PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational will move to Torrey Pines Golf Course. The tournament at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, hosted by golf icon Tiger Woods, was displaced because of the devastating fires in Pacific Palisades.

San Diego – Harris English finished his 6-under 66 with three straight birdies Friday, charging into a one-shot lead over Andrew Novak at 9-under 207 heading into the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open.

The PGA Tour announced Friday that next month’s Genesis Invitational, which traditionally has been played at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, will be moved to Torrey Pines outside San Diego because of the fires that have ravaged the Los Angeles area.

The PGA Tour will return to the San Diego area in a few weeks to contest one of the biggest events of the season
