If you thought the course setup for the recent Farmers Insurance Open was tough, just wait until you see what it looks like for this week’s relocated Genesis Invitational.
Torrey Pines – which is the backdrop for this week’s Farmers Insurance Open – will serve as the temporary home to next month’s Genesis Invitational after the Genesis was forced to move from Riviera Country Club due to the wildfires in Los Angeles.
