The PGA Tour swiftly launched its second premier competition of the current season, drawing an assembly of the globe’s top golfers to the Southern California coastline in Los Angeles. There, they are set to contend in Tiger Woods’ esteemed tournament, which marks its comeback to the familiar greens of Riviera Country Club.
Following its relocation to Torrey Pines in 2025 due to extensive fires in the Los Angeles area, Riviera’s reappearance is undoubtedly a welcomed development for everyone participating. The lineup this week features four previous victors of this particular tournament – Ludvig Åberg (the current titleholder), Hideki Matsuyama, Max Homa, and Adam Scott. However, several of the most prominent figures in the sport will be aiming for their inaugural triumph at Riviera.
Among these prominent figures is Scottie Scheffler, who has staged impressive rallies in the past fortnight to secure a top-3 placement despite initial struggles. Also participating is Rory McIlroy, who commenced his 2026 PGA Tour campaign with a fluctuating T14 finish at Pebble Beach. Collin Morikawa is likewise returning to play after claiming victory at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, his first win on the PGA Tour since 2023, thereby showcasing the caliber that once elevated him to the world’s second-ranked player.
Tommy Fleetwood, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, and Patrick Cantlay complete the cohort of leading contenders in Los Angeles this week, all aspiring to be presented with the winner’s trophy by Woods and a substantial prize at the culmination of the event.
Discover the viewing options available for Scheffler, McIlroy, and all other participants in Tiger’s tournament this week.
