Riviera Country Club to Host 2028 Olympic Golf
Lausanne, Switzerland: The International Golf Federation alongside LA28 has announced that The Riviera Country Club will welcome the men’s and women’s golf competitions for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
“We are honoured to work alongside LA28 and the world-renowned Riviera Country Club to host the golf competitions during the 2028 Los Angeles Games,” said Antony Scanlon, Executive Director of the International Golf Federation.
“The Riviera Country Club will offer a prestigious and continuously challenging backdrop for golf’s most elite players, and we look forward to sharing one of the finest courses with our fans around the world,” added Scanlon.
Founded in 1926 by the Los Angeles Athletic Club, The Riviera Country Club annually hosts The Genesis Invitational on the PGA Tour.
Consistently ranked as one of the top-tier golf courses in the world, The Riviera Country Club has previously staged numerous first-class events including the 1995 PGA Championship, 1998 US Senior Open and 2017 US Amateur.
It has also been confirmed as host to the 2026 US Women’s Open and the 2031 US Open.
Los Angeles will host the Summer Games for a third time (1932, 1984, 2028) as golf continues to build upon the success of the previous two Olympic golf competitions at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 and looks forward to Paris 2024.
LA 2028 will mark the sixth occasion in which golf has been featured as an Olympic sport, and just the fourth time since 1904. The Opening Ceremony will be held on July 14, 2028.
