Riviera Country Club to host Olympic golf event
Riviera Country Club is one of the most renowned golf courses. It is situated in the neighborhood of the Westside in Los Angeles, California. The venue is known for hosting the prestigious PGA Tour event, Genesis Invitational, and is now gearing up to host the Olympic golf events in 2028. The next edition of the Olympics will take place in Los Angeles, and the golf events for men and women will take place at the venue.
Golf became a part of the Olympics back in 1900, and that year the event was held at Compiegne Golf Club in Paris. In 2016, it was held at the Olympic Golf Course and then at the Kasumigaseki Country Club in Tokyo in 2020. In the 2024 Paris Olympics, Le Golf National hosted the golf events.
Meanwhile, aside from PGA Tour events, Riviera Country Club has also hosted several major tournaments. It was the host for the US Open in 1948 and the PGA Championship in 1983 and 1995. In addition to that, the venue has also hosted the US Senior Open in 1998 and the US Amateur in 2017. The golf course was designed by George C Thomas Jr and William P Bell. It has a length of around 7,400 yards.
