The third Signature Event of 2025 gets underway this week at the Genesis Invitational, where Hideki Matsuyama returns to defend the title he won 12 months ago.
For this season, Torrey Pines is the temporary host of the tournament, due to the recent fires in Los Angeles, near to regular host Riviera Country Club. The move hasn't stopped the best from the PGA Tour making their way over to San Diego though, as 15-time Major winner Tiger Woods hosts.
Matsuyama returns to defend his title
Among the field is World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, who gets his first and second rounds under way at 2.20pm on the first hole (ET) and 1.14pm on the 10th (ET) alongside defending champion, Matsuyama, and Collin Morikawa.
The last Signature Event winner, Rory McIlroy, returns to Torrey Pines for the first time since 2021, with the four-time Major winner holding an excellent record round the South Course as he looks to carry forward his momentum from the AT&T Pebble Beach.
He gets his first and second rounds underway at 1.14pm on the first hole and 2.20pm on the 10th hole, with McIlroy paired alongside Viktor Hovland and Adam Scott.

There are a number of stand out groups teeing it up, such as the 2.09pm and 1.03pm trio of WM Phoenix Open winner Thomas Detry, Ludvig Aberg, Jordan Spieth. But, among the big names missing the Genesis Invitational include host Tiger Woods and World No.2 Xander Schauffele.
Originally, Woods was in the field for the tournament but, sadly, the 49-year-old lost his mother Kultida last week and opted to withdraw following the sad news, with a statement reading "I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my Mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss."
In terms of Schauffele, it appears the two-time Major winner is continuing to struggle with a rib injury that has plagued the start of his 2025.
