There are at least 60 people from the City of San Diego’s staff who work on staging the PGA Tour’s Farmers Insurance Open at the municipal Torrey Pines golf courses. They toil long hours for months in advance and then all but collapse onto their couches when the final putt drops.

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.

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.
