After a week in Arizona for the WM Phoenix Open, the PGA Tour is back in California for the 2025 Genesis Invitational. Typically, this event is played at Riviera Country Club but due to the wildfires in Los Angeles, it has been moved to Torrey Pines. The first round begins on Thursday morning from San Diego.

Matsuyama has since added two more prominent victories to his resume, the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship (playoff event) and 2025 Sentry (signature event). Woods was announced as a participant on Friday, marking his anticipated return to competitive golf after a prolonged absence.
