The PGA Tour will once again head to San Diego this week, but this time for The Genesis Invitational 2025. The third Signature Event of the season will be played at Torrey Pines South Course after it was announced as the temporary host for this year due to the wildfire disaster in Los Angeles.

The Tiger Woods-hosted event will feature most of the top-ranked players in action at Torrey Pines. The field includes World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, and others. Defending champion Hideki Matsuyama will return and look to become the first player since Phil Mickelson to successfully defend his title.

Further, Tiger Woods is making his PGA Tour return at The Genesis Invitational. This will be his first official event since The Open Championship in 2024. While he has never won this tournament, he boasts an incredible record at Torrey Pines, where he has claimed seven Farmers Insurance Open titles and the US Open 2008.

Only two of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) are not competing at Torrey Pines, with Xander Schauffele being the only eligible player absent next week.
