A well-known stop on the PGA Tour will host the world’s best in 2028.

The International Golf Federation, along with LA28, announced Friday that Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, will host the men’s and women’s golf events at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Riviera is the site of the Tour’s Genesis Invitational, hosted by Tiger Woods.

“We are honored to partner with LA28 and the world-renowned Riviera Country Club to host the golf competitions during the 2028 Los Angeles Games,” said Antony Scanlon, CEO of the International Golf Federation. “Riviera Country Club will provide a prestigious and ever-challenging setting for the best golfers, and we look forward to sharing one of the finest courses with our fans around the world.”

Founded in 1926 by the Los Angeles Athletic Club, Riviera is ranked fourth on Golfweek’s list of California’s best private golf courses and 17th on the list of classic golf courses in the United States. It has hosted the 1995 PGA Championship, the 1998 U.S. Senior Open and the 2017 U.S. Amateur. It will also host the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open and the 2031 U.S. Open.

In 2026 the course will celebrate its centenary.

Los Angeles will host the Summer Olympics for the third time (1932, 1984, 2028) and it will be the fourth consecutive year that the Olympic golf competition will be back on the calendar. The opening ceremony will take place on July 14, 2028.
