Riviera CC is the home of Northern Trust Open since 1973. Every year the Chicago based Northern Trust Corporation sponsors the event. The event had no permanent presence before 1973 rather it kept moving from one course to another, leading a nomadic existence. In 1926, the inaugural event was organized at the Los Angeles Country Club and in 1927 it once again moved to play at the Wilshire Country Club.  From 1931-33, the event’s home was the Hillcrest Country Club and the following year it was again Los Angeles where the event was played for next three years.  In the1938 event of Open Trust, Babe Zaharias played who was later recognized as the first women to play in any professional golf tournament.
