Riviera Country Club secures 2028 Olympic Games venue for golf

Los Angeles’s famous Riviera Country Club will host both men’s and women’s golf events at the 2028 Olympic Games, the International Golf Federation announced today.

Leading up to the next Summer Olympics, the course has just celebrated its 102nd anniversary and has already hosted some notable events, including the 1995 PGA Championship, the 1998 U.S. Senior Open and the 2017 U.S. Amateur. The 2026 U.S. Women’s Open and the 2031 U.S. Open will be played here.

International Golf Federation CEO Antony Scanlon said:

“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. 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.”

This is the third time Los Angeles has hosted the Summer Olympics, the first two being in 1932 and 1984.

Golf returned to the Olympics in 2016 and Xander Schauffele won in Tokyo in 2020. The competition will take place in Paris this summer.
