PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif., Feb. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Genesis is partnering with the PGA TOUR, TGR Live, and TGR Foundation for the seventh consecutive year to provide golf enthusiasts with an elevated and immersive experience at The Genesis Invitational.

“We are pleased to support tournament host Tiger Woods and TGR Foundation as title sponsor for the distinguished Genesis Invitational for yet another year,” said Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer of Genesis Motor North America. “The Genesis Invitational celebrates golf with an immersive experience bringing the Genesis brand values of elevated hospitality to all fans and athletes involved with the game of golf.”

Tournament host Tiger Woods will make his 2023 PGA TOUR debut at The Genesis Invitational. Woods is joined by 19 of the top 20 golfers in the Official World Golf Ranking – the first occurrence for a 2022-2023 PGA TOUR event – including Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Patrick Cantlay, and Collin Morikawa.

The winner of this year’s tournament will receive a new Genesis Electrified GV70 and 18 percent of the $20 million purse – which increased $8 million since last year – or $3.6 million. In addition, the player with the first hole-in-one each day on the 14th hole will also take home an Electrified GV70 and his caddie will receive a 2023 Genesis GV60. As well, the first player with a hole-in-one each day on the 16th hole will win a 2023 Electrified G80 and his caddie will receive a 2023 Genesis GV60. This is the first time ever at a Genesis sponsored golf event that there will be two holes with eligibility for hole-in-one car prizes. For the first time, caddies will also be winning a car alongside their player.

All tournament proceeds benefit students in Southern California and beyond through TGR Foundation. As title sponsor, Genesis and the Genesis Inspiration Foundation are committing an additional $1 million to TGR Foundation to advance science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education for youth over the next five years. Part of this partnership will include learning opportunities for TGR Foundation students at the Genesis Design Studio.

Guests of The Genesis Invitational will be able to experience the entire award-winning lineup of Genesis vehicles. This includes the 2023 MotorTrend Car of the Year, the flagship G90 sedan, the all-new Electrified GV70 SUV, all-electric GV60 SUV, G70 sport sedan, Electrified G80 executive sedan, and GV80 SUV. Vehicle display areas include the Genesis Entrance Pavilion, 1st fairway, the Genesis Skybox, and the Genesis Lounge at the 14th fairway.

The Genesis Invitational invites guests to celebrate golf traditions in a unique, elevated setting with interactive exhibits that embody the theme of “Make the Game Your Own,” which is an invitation to shape your own golf experience, see new perspectives, and join in the excitement and thrill of the game. This includes the Genesis Lounge on the 14th fairway. Highlights of tournament amenities and activities include:
