Tiger Woods and the Riviera Country Club go back. Way back.
The 15-time major champion made his first trip to the private club perched in the Pacific Palisades of Los Angeles as a fan at the Los Angeles Open at just nine or 10 years old, by his memory.
Now 47 and two years removed from a single-car accident that nearly cost him his leg, Woods will make his non-major return to golf this week at the PGA Tour’s 2023 Genesis Invitational, the full-field designated event of the Tour’s 2022-23 season.
Here’s a quick look at Woods’ history at the famed club that’s been a home to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
