Welcome to one of the best weeks of the year. Riviera Country Club is as good as it gets — arguably a top-three golf course we see annually on the PGA Tour — and the field is absolutely loaded.
The second full-field designated event of the season doesn’t only boast 23 of the world’s top 25 players, but Tiger Woods is set to make his return on Thursday.
Ever heard of him?
The 15-time major champion has never won at Riviera and, understandably, is a longshot to do so this week at 150/1.
Newly-crowned world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has bettered his finish at this event three appearances in a row, capped off with a T-7 in 2022.
