USGA Returns to Los Angeles Country Club for Two Future Majors
Venue will host the 2032 U.S. Women’s Open and 2039 U.S. Open, in addition to the 2023 U.S. Open
Posted On: October 19, 2022 By :The United States Golf Association has announced The Los Angeles Country Club will host the 2032 U.S. Women’s Open Presented by ProMedica and 2039 U.S. Open Championship. The club has previously hosted three USGA championships, most recently the 2017 Walker Cup, and will stage the 123rd U.S. Open next June.
“We could not be more excited to bring our two biggest national championships to The Los Angeles Country Club and extend our relationship with the club that dates back more than 90 years,” said John Bodenhamer, USGA chief championships officer. “This is a tremendous sports town, an enthusiastic golf community and home to a great venue for championship golf. We’re very much looking forward to next year’s U.S. Open and thrilled to be returning twice more in the future.”
The Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course has hosted three USGA championships — the 1930 U.S. Women’s Amateur, the 1954 U.S. Amateur and the 2017 Walker Cup. The North Course also hosted the Los Angeles Open, now the Genesis Invitational, five times between 1926 and 1940.
“With the countdown to next year’s U.S. Open underway, we are excited to welcome the USGA back to The Los Angeles Country Club for not only another U.S. Open in 2039 but also the U.S. Women’s Open in 2032,” said Dick Shortz and John Chulick, co-chairs of LACC’s U.S. Open Committee. “The Los Angeles community embraces major sporting events and our membership is honored to host the game’s best women and men on our iconic North Course in the years to come.”
In June, the Los Angeles Country Club will become the third U.S. Open venue in Southern California, joining Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades (1948) and Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego (2008, 2021). The 87th playing of the U.S. Women’s Open will mark the third time the championship will be played in Southern California after San Diego Country Club in Chula Vista hosted the event in 1964 and The Riviera Country Club is scheduled to host in 2026.
