This week’s course, Riviera Country Club aka “Hogan’s Alley,” is one of the most iconic layouts in all of professional golf. Heavy hitters such as Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson and Adam Scott, a few of the longest golfers on Tour, seem to have had the best success at Riviera in the past. Many European Tour players are participating in this event as their first official PGA tournament of the season. Although not playing this week, Tiger Woods’ charity, the Tiger Woods Foundation, is one of the major sponsors of this event.
