The Genesis Invitational, one of the longest running tournaments on the PGA Tour schedule, is back for another year.
It will be played in 2025 at a new venue, however, as Torrey Pines becomes the 12th golf course to host the event. The tournament is one of three player-hosted signature events on the PGA Tour. Tiger Woods’ TGR Live runs the event.
It’s the ninth year that Genesis is the title sponsor. Before becoming an invitational, the tournament was called the Genesis Open. It started in 1926 as the Los Angeles Open, and the 2025 event will be the 99th playing.
The Genesis is the seventh-oldest tournament on the PGA Tour schedule, but if you consider true PGA Tour events and not the majors, the Genesis is the fourth oldest, behind the BMW, Canadian Open and Texas Open.
Oldest golf tournaments on the PGA Tour
This year will mark the first time the Genesis will be played outside of the Los Angeles area.
Torrey Pines in San Diego is also a long-standing venue on the PGA Tour. It has hosted the the Farmers Insurance Open (which has also had several names over the years) since 1968 as well as the 2008 and 2021 U.S. Opens.
