The Riviera Country Club hosts its first women’s major: the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open
For the first time ever, a women’s major is being held at Riviera Country Club, the legendary track located in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. The club is best known as the longtime home of the PGA’s Genesis Invitational, and has also played host to the U.S. Men’s Open in 1948 as well as the PGA Championship in 1983 and 1995.
“Riviera and the top women players in the game is hopefully going to be a match made in heaven,” Banks said during a media preview of the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open last week.
“On the West Coast… you have a historic venue plus primetime television… we want people to see the action, see the golf course, see the incredible players, and just really follow all the drama,” Pressel added.
Top golfers playing the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open
Of the 156 golfers in the field this week, all eyes are on World No. 1 Nelly Korda, who’s been in fine form all season long with three wins, including one at the year’s first major in April: The Chevron Championship. She’ll be focused too, as she’s seeking her first ever U.S. Women’s Open title.
Granted, Korda will have plenty of competition, including World No. 2 Jeeno Thitkul, who’s got plenty of momentum of her own, including top-10 finishes in each of her last two starts on the LPGA Tour. She may be extra motivated too, as she’s still seeking her first major championship.
Other contenders include defending champ Maja Stark (who won the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open at Erin Hills), Lydia Ko, Minjee Lee, Hannah Green, Charley Hull, Brooke Henderson, Allisen Corpuz, and rising stars Lottie Woad, Rose Zhang, and Julia López Ramírez. And don’t rule out former U.S. Women’s Open champion Michelle Wie West, who’s coming out of retirement and returning to LPGA competition for the first time since 2023.
Following the U.S. Women’s Open, NBC Sports’ LPGA Tour coverage picks up again from June 25-28 for the third major of the year: the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship from Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.
