U.S. Women’s Open makes debut at Riviera Country Club this week

The 2023 U.S. Women’s Open is set to be played at Riviera Country Club for the first time, starting this week. This marks a growing trend of women’s golf competing at iconic venues traditionally associated with men’s tournaments. The purse for the event will be announced on Wednesday, following record purse levels in 2024 and 2025, both totaling $12 million. The tournament runs parallel to a notable return for Michelle Wie West, who is entering her first major since retirement after the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open. The U.S. Women’s Open's debut at Riviera is part of a series of championships scheduled at the venue over the next five years, including the 2028 Olympics and the 2031 U.S. Open.
