LOS ANGELES — Adam Scott wanted to add a West Coast event to his schedule, and it made sense to go from Hawaii to San Diego at the start of the year. Instead, he went from Hawaii to his home in the Bahamas, and then flew out to the Northern Trust Open this week before heading back east for the Florida Swing.
Riviera has that kind of appeal.
It's why Jordan Spieth refers to it as one of his top five golf courses in the world. It's why Rory McIlroy, finally settled at his home in Florida after his Middle East swing, flew across the country to play the course for the first time.
