In 2026, the club will celebrate its 100th year and one big way to commemorate a nice, round number like that will be with the playing of the U.S. Women’s Open, the first women’s championship to be held there.
“We’ve always sought majors,” Megan Watanabe, the first female president of the club, told the Associated Press. Her family bought the property in 1989.
“Because we have never hosted a women’s championship, it made sense,” she said. “Also for the Olympics. I wanted the women to be comfortable and experience Riviera before the Olympics.”
