I left there to be close to my elderly mom, but have never left SoCal in my heart.
Agree. They moved the Monday Rams Vikings game to Arizona.
Just a thought. Not sure if it is right or wrong. Leave it there and make it a huge local charity event.. the tour is supposedly about local outreach.. prove it.
It’s a good idea but I don’t know that it would work logistically. So much of the parking (attendees and volunteers) is off site in the surrounding areas that burned down. Getting people in and out would be a nightmare. Also how many of the volunteers live locally and just lost everything? Maybe move it somewhere else and still make it a charity event.
They could maybe delay it until later this year but would probably be better off just moving it. It will take a long time for this area to recover.
Doing it for charity yes, doing it at Riv probably not.
My daughter has lived in the area for 10 years and it's just awful. Spent the last few nights in Orange County. Pray for all those familiesDoing it for charity yes, doing it at Riv probably not.
Housing and the infrastructure around there took a beating. The locals who lost property are likely filling every available place around. Utility companies will have line crews in the area for months and they too need housing. Massive cleanup operation will have contractors everywhere. Bringing players and fans into that area is not a good use of the public resources required to host the event, they have plenty other things to deal with.
I like your thought process and hope the tour finds a way to help.
I agree with you. Have an event to raise money for relief efforts. It just shouldn’t be at Riviera for the reasons you stated.Doing it for charity yes, doing it at Riv probably not.

No real shock here. Wonder where they end up moving it to
Is this a done deal? That f’ing sucks. Torrey is a crap course.. should have gone to Harding Park or something. That felt, Riv ish..
Haven't seen anything official but pretty sure it's happening. Makes the most sense logistically as they already have everything set up. I agree it's not a great course but not sure where else they could move it in such short time
Literally anywhere would be better..
I highly doubt they are going to play two tournaments at Torrey. They have the Farmer's this week at Torrey.
