Not held in 1943 ^ One round of the first two was played on the adjacent Harding course Prior toWorld War II , the event led a nomadic existence in Southern California, moving from course to course. The inaugural event 99 years ago in 1926 was played atLos Angeles Country Club inLos Angeles ;[ 5] Tarzana for the only time.[ 6] Wilshire Country Club in theHancock Park neighborhood, and 1929 and 1930 saw the event's first foray to the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades before returning again to Los Angeles for the next decade. From 1931 to 1933, the event alternated between Wilshire CC andHillcrest Country Club , before returning to Los Angeles CC from1934–1936. From1937–1939, the event was played atGriffith Park (Wilson course)[ 7] in 1940.[ 8] Babe Zaharias played in the1938 event,[ 9] being the first woman to play in a professional golf tournament for men.
In 1941, the event returned to Riviera CC and in 1942 was played again at Hillcrest CC beforeWorld War II intervened.
The event started up again in 1944 at Wilshire CC before spending the next nine years(1945–1953) at Riviera CC, which also hosted theU.S. Open in June1948 , won byBen Hogan in a record score. In 1954, the event was played at Fox Hills Country Club (now inCulver City ) and in 1955 moved toInglewood Country Club. From1956–1972, the event returned to Los Angeles atRancho Park Golf Course , with the exception of1968 , which was atBrookside Golf Course inPasadena , adjacent to theRose Bowl .[ 10] 1962 , 21-year-oldJack Nicklaus made his professional debut at the Los Angeles Open – his 289 tied for 50th (last place after the cut) at Rancho Park and earned $33.33 in prize money.[ 11] [ 12]
The L.A. Open was traditionally the first event of the season, played in early January; it was a late January event in1967 and1968 , and moved to the latter half of February in1974 . Theyear before , it began its current relationship with Riviera CC. The tournament has only twice been played at other courses since: Rancho Park Golf Course in 1983, while Riviera prepared to host thePGA Championship , and Valencia Country Club in1998 , while Riviera prepared to host theU.S. Senior Open . The event remained at Riviera in 1995, despite Riviera hosting thePGA Championship thatyear,[ 13] and also remained in 2017, when the course hosted theU.S. Amateur .
In1992 , the Nissan Los Angeles Open at Riviera CC was the site ofTiger Woods ' first PGA Tour event as an amateur player, as a16-year-old high schoolsophomore.[ 14] Neither Woods norJack Nicklaus have won the event; Woods lost in a playoff in 1998 (at Valencia)[ 15] [ 16] 1978 .[ 17] [ 18]
The 2001 event was only the second time that a six-player playoff was needed in PGA Tour history to determine the tournament winner.Robert Allenby won the playoff ahead ofToshi Izawa ,Brandel Chamblee ,Bob Tway ,Jeff Sluman , andDennis Paulson .[ 19] [ 20]
In 2005, the tournament was shortened by 36 holes due to rain.Adam Scott defeatedChad Campbell on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff on a Monday. Due to the event's length, this win is counted as unofficial for Scott.[ 21]
In 2007,Rich Beem made ahole-in-one at the 14th hole on Saturday to win a new redAltima coupe, which he immediately ascended, embraced, and sat atop of in triumph.[ 22] video ) Beem creditedPeter Jacobsen for inspiring his reaction; Jacobsen aced the same hole thirteen years earlier in 1994 then hopped into the nearby300ZX convertible and pretended to drive it.[ 23] [ 24] [ 25] [ 26]
In September 2007, it was originally announced thatBearing Point , a consulting firm based inMcLean ,Virginia , would become the new title sponsor of the tournament, butNorthern Trust became the title sponsor beginning in February 2008. The five-year agreement, which extended through the 2012 event, was announced October 15, 2007, by PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem and William A. Osborn, Chairman and CEO of Northern Trust Corporation.[ 27]
Phil Mickelson won the 2008 tournament and successfully defended the title in 2009 with a one-stroke victory overSteve Stricker . In 2010, Stricker came back to win the Northern Trust Open and secure his ranking of the number two player in the world. In 2016, Bubba Watson won the tournament for a second time in three years, holding off Adam Scott and Jason Kokrak to win by one shot with a 15-under-par total.[ 28]
Following the demise ofThe National tournament after2018 , which was run by the Tiger Woods Foundation, the Genesis Open was converted to aninvitational for2020 , with a larger purse and a smaller field.[ 29]
Due to theJanuary 2025 Southern California wildfires , the2025 edition was moved from Riviera toTorrey Pines Golf Course inSan Diego .[ 30] Farmers Insurance Open three weeks earlier, with one round on the North course (either Thursday or Friday) and three on the South; all four rounds of the Genesis Invitational were on the South course.
Invitational status [ edit ] The Genesis Invitational is one of only five tournaments given "invitational" status by thePGA Tour , and consequently it has a reduced field of only 69 players in 2024 (as opposed to most full-field open tournaments with a field of 156 players). The other four are theArnold Palmer Invitational ,RBC Heritage ,Charles Schwab Challenge , and theMemorial Tournament .
Invitational tournaments have smaller fields (between 69 and 132 players), and have more freedom than full-field open tournaments in determining which players are eligible to participate in their event, as invitational tournaments are not required to fill their fields using the PGA Tour Priority Ranking System. Furthermore, unlike full-field open tournaments, invitational tournaments do not offer open qualifying (aka Monday qualifying). The winner is granted a three-year tour exemption, rather than two.
The field consists of at least 120 players invited using the following criteria:[ 31]
Genesis winners from past five years The Players Championship andmajor championship winners in the last five yearsFedEx Cup winners in the last five years (beginning with the 2019 winner)World Golf Championships winners in the past three yearsArnold Palmer Invitational andMemorial Tournament winners in the past three yearsTournament winner since last Genesis Prior yearU.S. Amateur winner (may have turned professional) Current PGA Tour members who were playing members of last namedRyder Cup andPresidents Cup teams Top 125 from prior yearFedEx Cup points list Top 10 from the current FedEx Cup points list (as of Friday prior) 12 sponsor exemptions – 2 fromWeb.com Tour finals, 2 members not otherwise exempt, and 8 unrestricted If necessary, field filled to 120 from current year FedEx Cup point list (as of Friday prior) Charlie Sifford Memorial Exemption [ edit ] In 2009, the tournament designated one unrestricted exemption for a player who represents the advancement of diversity in golf. The exemption is called the Charlie Sifford Memorial Exemption, in honor of pioneering black golfer and 1969 tournament winnerCharlie Sifford .[ 32] [ 33] [ 34] [ 35] Carlos Sainz Jr. , of Filipino and Bolivian descent;[ 36] J. J. Spaun , is also of Filipino descent.[ 37]
The 2018 exemption went toCameron Champ , who nine months later became the first past recipient of this exemption to win on the PGA Tour when he won the Sanderson Farms Championship in the fall portion of the 2019 season. In 2020,Joseph Bramlett became the first two-time recipient of the award.[ 38]
