Genesis Invitational to consider new golf course due to LA wildfires

The Genesis Invitational will be held at a new location in 2025 following the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

The event previously known as the Los Angeles Open has been held at the Riviera Country Club, located in the Pacific Palisades, since 1999.

The country club is located near the Palisades fire. The Los Angeles Medical Examiner announced Thursday that 27 people have died in the Southern California fires in recent days.

“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.”

What courses could Genesis Invitational consider?

With the Riviera Country Club out of consideration for the upcoming event, other venues will be considered.

“In collaboration with Genesis, The Riviera Country Club and TGR Live, and out of respect for the unfolding situation, we have determined that The Genesis Invitational 2025 will be played at an alternate location the week of Feb. 10-16,” The PGA Tour said in a statement. “A venue update and additional tournament information will be provided in the coming days.”

There have been 11 different host courses used throughout the history of the tournament, but none have been used more than The Riviera Country Club.

The club was first used in 1929 for the first time and has been used 60 times for the event.

All but one of the 11 courses remain open and could be considered possibilities for the 2025 event.

The Valencia Country Club was the last course used outside of the Riviera Country Club in 1998.
