Genesis is partnering with the #pgatour, 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 #genesisinvitational for yet another year,” said #claudiamarquez, chief operating officer of #genesis Motor North America. “The #genesisinvitational 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 #pgatour debut at The #genesisinvitational. Woods is joined by 19 of the top 20 golfers in the Official World #golf Ranking – the first occurrence for a 2022-2023 #pgatour event – including Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Patrick Cantlay, and Collin Morikawa.
The winner of this year’s tournament will receive a new #genesiselectrifiedgv70 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 #genesisinvitational 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 #genesisinvitational 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:
The #genesis Lounge
Located at the 14th fairway, it is a first-class lounge open to all guests, with an unobstructed, elevated view from tee to green. Within, guests can “Make the Game Their Own” with the Dryvebox full-swing #golf simulator, where they may participate in the #genesis “Closest to the Pin” Challenge or take a few shots with the help and guidance of a #pgatour coach. Additionally, guests can relax and rejuvenate at the #genesis Electrified zone which is outfitted with soft seating, a complimentary coffee bar and Korean snacks, TVs powered by V2L technology with tournament coverage, and EV models to explore. Guests of the #genesis Lounge will receive a complimentary commemorative poster and live, large-scale painting of the Electrified GV70 while supplies last.
