Golf History
The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, marks its centennial, reflecting on a century of prestige and notable golf moments. Designed by George C. Thomas Jr. and opened in 1927, the club has hosted PGA TOUR events for over half its existence, including the upcoming Genesis Invitational after a one-year hiatus due to local fires. Its legacy includes victories by legends like Ben Hogan and recent champions such as Hideki Matsuyama.

The 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale has transformed from a simple par 3 into an over-the-top arena over nearly four decades. Originally designed as a solid par 3 in 1986, it now hosts rowdy crowds during the WM Phoenix Open, complete with boos, beer projectiles, and viral player antics. This evolution reflects broader changes in equipment, culture, and tournament atmosphere.
