The Genesis Invitational tee times 2025: Field, purse, format, TV schedule, and more
By Luke Norris
As the PGA Tour prepares for the third Signature Event of the 2025 season, it's difficult not to be a bit disappointed.
For one, this week marks just the third time since 1973 and the first time since 1998 that this historic tourney will not be contested at famed Riviera Country Club in the Pacific Palisades. But due to the devastation caused by the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area, the PGA Tour felt it was best to move the event elsewhere.
Filling in for Riviera this year will be Torrey Pines Golf Course, which hosted the annual Farmers Insurance Open only three weeks ago. So, while it's always a treat to watch the world's best attempt to tackle Riviera, there are far worse backup options than the scenic sites of the South Course at Torrey Pines.
It's also disappointing that The Genesis was set to be the stage of Tiger Woods' return to the PGA Tour.
It was announced late last week that Tiger, who also serves as the tournament's host, was ready to tee it up for the first time in an official event since The Open Championship last July. On Monday, however, Woods announced his withdrawal as he continues to mourn the death of his mother, Kultida, who passed away just last Tuesday.
But while Woods will be missed, the 72-player field at The Genesis Invitational is still absolutely loaded, as it features 46 of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking, a list headlined by Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
The only top-50 players who won't be in attendance this week are Xander Schauffele (No. 2), Tyrrell Hatton (No. 8), Bryson DeChambeau (No. 10), and Jon Rahm (No. 49). Schauffele has been sidelined all season with a rib injury, and Hatton, DeChambeau, and Rahm aren't eligible to play, as they're members of the LIV Golf roster.
The Genesis Invitational tee times, field for 2025
