“Riviera is a rare venue for an LPGA major”
Hosting a major championship at the Riviera Country Club serves as a strategic move to increase the prestige of the LPGA. By utilizing a venue with deep historical roots in professional golf, the U.S. Women's Open leverages the 'aura' of the course to draw more spectators and media attention, further narrowing the visibility gap between the men's and women's professional tours.
