Keeping the tourney in California and the proximity to Riviera Country Club were primary factors for selecting Torrey Pines for the Feb. 13-16 to the event.

As of Friday, Gorsich was doing anything he could support the Genesis Invitational while also overseeing his own tour event with 75 golfers playing into Saturday’s final round, toward an overall purse of $9 million and a winner’s check of $1.67 million.

The Genesis Invitational will be held this year at Torrey Pines in San Diego rather than Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, because of the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area.
