Confirmation! It was expected anyway, and now the International Golf Federation (IGF) has made it official in the run-up to Paris: the Olympic golf tournaments of the 2028 Los Angeles Games will be held at the Riviera Country Club, which is best known as the venue for Tiger Woods' Genesis Invitational. The ensemble in the west of the Californian megalopolis has already been an Olympic stage - at the 1932 Games, the tenth in the modern era and the first in the City of Angels. Back then, however, the Riviera Equestrian Club and the neighbouring grounds of the golf club, which was founded in 1926, hosted all the equestrian competitions.

Mixed Golf Event for the Olympics 2028?
According to the World Golf Federation, Riviera will finally host the long-awaited third golf competition. In Paris, IGF Secretary General Antony Scanlon spoke of a mixed competition over 36 holes for 16 teams from the two 60-player fields, with a strokeplay and a best-ball round. The IGF proposal has been submitted to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and, according to Scanlon, in-depth discussions are planned for this week. So the chances are good for Minjee and Min Woo Lee to play for Olympic golf honours not only as brother and sister, but also as a team in four years' time.
