The storied Pacific Palisades course is one of more than a dozen venue selections revealed by LA28 in its second wave of choices.
Jon Rahm raises his club and the crowd cheers after putting for a birdie on the 18th hole during the third round at the Genesis Invitational at the Riviera Country Club Saturday, February 18, 2023. Riviera Country Club will host the 2028 Olympic golf competitions as part of a second wave of venue assignments released by LA28, the local organizing company, Friday.
Golf at the storied Pacific Palisades course is one of more than a dozen venue selections for Los Angeles, Carson and Long Beach, revealed by LA28. Friday’s announcement comes three weeks after LA28 announced venue selections that the organization said will result in $150 million in new revenue and combined savings. That plan highlighted flipping track and field from its normal place in the second week of the Games with swimming, the usual anchor for the Olympics’ first week, to accommodate the opening and closing ceremonies. That plan also included moving swimming to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
“The 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games will reflect all that the Los Angeles area has to offer, and with these venue assignments, we’re very proud to bring the Games to many of our vibrant and diverse communities,” LA28 Chief Athlete Officer Janet Evans said. “The City of Los Angeles will host more Olympic sports than anywhere else, and Carson and Long Beach, which hosted competitions in previous Games, will host more competitions than ever before.
The latest venue reveal also adds seven more sports to venues in the so-called Figueroa corridor between Exposition Park and downtown Los Angeles.• Golf at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades• Taekwondo in the L.A.
