New venue and logistics details for the PGA Tour signature event, which will feature a star-studded field, will be announced in the future.
“The PGA Tour remains focused on the safety and well-being of those affected by this unprecedented natural disaster in the Los Angeles metropolitan area,” the PGA Tour said in a statement.
“We are grateful for the lifesaving efforts of first responders and their tireless efforts to stop these tragic wildfires.

Woods is focused on helping “everyone who is struggling”
Speaking earlier this week, Woods insisted he was focused on helping those affected by the bushfires, not on how the tournament would turn out.
“We’re just trying to figure everything out and make sure everyone’s safe. We have more meetings scheduled,” Woods said Tuesday.
“At the moment we are not too focused on the tournament, but more on what we can do to help those who are struggling, those who have lost their homes and whose lives have been changed. There are many more important things than that.” [tournament]. ”
Woods previously wrote in a post on X: “The ongoing devastation of the Los Angeles fires is a great tragedy, and as a Californian, it hits home. My heart is with those who have suffered unimaginable loss.”
“Thank you to the incredible heroes who are the first responders who have contained and saved the communities of Los Angeles. In the coming weeks, we will provide updates on our own philanthropic efforts to support these communities. We will provide information. Stay strong in Los Angeles!”
