Riviera Country Club will host the men’s and women’s golf competitions at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

The International Golf Federation and the LA28 organizing committee made the announcement Friday in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The site of The Genesis Invitational on the PGA Tour, Riviera also hosted tournaments that include the 1995 PGA Championship, 1998 U.S. Senior Open and 2017 U.S. Amateur, and is set to host the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open and the 2031 U.S. Open.

“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,” said Antony Scanlon, executive director of the International Golf Federation.

The club was founded by the Los Angeles Athletic Club and will mark its centennial in 2026. It is located in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, about 20 miles west of downtown.

The golf competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics begins Aug. 1. It will be played at Le Golf National, the site of the 2018 Ryder Cup.
