The PGA Tour is bringing one of its premier events back to the California coast as the Tiger Woods Invitational returns to the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles after a year’s absence. This 2026 edition of the tournament will showcase the world’s top golfers competing for a prestigious title on a familiar and storied course.
The Riviera Country Club was unavailable last year due to the severe wildfires in Los Angeles, which forced the Genesis Invitational to relocate to Torrey Pines. This year, players and fans alike will welcome the return to Riviera, where past champions such as Ludvig Åberg—the reigning champion—Hideki Matsuyama, Max Homa, and Adam Scott will be among the competitors aiming to reclaim or defend their titles. Meanwhile, featured stars including Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will seek their first victories at this venue during the 2026 season.
Scottie Scheffler arrives having staged impressive comebacks in recent weeks, finishing in the top three after difficult starts, while Rory McIlroy began his 2026 campaign with a mixed performance, finishing tied for 14th at Pebble Beach. Despite these ups and downs, McIlroy kept himself in contention through the early rounds and remains a top contender this weekend. Scheffler, facing the challenge of making the cut, also demonstrated resilience trying to stay competitive amid tough conditions.
Collin Morikawa returns with momentum following his recent win at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, marking his first PGA Tour victory since 2023 and reminding fans of the form that once ranked him as the world’s No. 2 player. Other leading golfers in the tournament include Tommy Fleetwood, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, and Patrick Cantlay, all contenders hoping to claim the trophy presented by Tiger Woods himself and the sizable winner’s prize.
