LOS ANGELES The Genesis Open will receive elevated tournament status beginning in 2020, putting the event hosted by Tiger Woods on the same footing as those tied to Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan was on-site Wednesday at Riviera Country Club and sat alongside Woods to announce the changes to the tournament, which will include making it an invitational and reducing the field size from 144 players to 120 starting next year. The purse will increase to $9.3 million, a $1.9 million jump from this year, with the winners share going from $1.332 million to $1.674 million.The winner will also receive a three-year exemption instead of the traditional two-year exemption handed out at most PGA Tour events. The Memorial began awarding three-year exemptions to its winners in 2016, while the Arnold Palmer Invitational has offered three-year exemptions to its winners since 2017. Winners of WGC events also get three-year exemptions, while winners of the four majors and The Players all receive five-year Tour exemptions.

Since day one weve challenged each other to find ways to continue to elevate the event and thats why were here today, Monahan said. I think most importantly its going to give us a week and an opportunity every single year to reflect upon this mans staggering accomplishments on the golf course and his staggering philanthropic contributions, something that were excited to tell the world for a long time to come.Woods made his PGA Tour debut at Riviera as a 16-year-old amateur in 1992, andhas served as tournament host since 2017. He shared that hosting an event with such personal ties to his youth growing up in Southern California added to the impact of the announcement.Were all honored to be included in this category and to be able to have an opportunity with Genesis to be able to do something like this, Woods said. And to do it here where I grew up, and to do it where my entire career got started, couldnt ask for more of a symbiotic outcome.
