Airplane makes emergency landing on iconic PGA Tour, Olympic golf course
Airplane makes emergency landing on iconic PGA Tour, Olympic golf course An airplane that was scheduled to land at Santa Monica Airport near Los Angeles made an emergency landing on Riviera Country Club on Friday, and incredibly, all three passengers aboard were unharmed and the plane was in good shape. The incident occurred at approximately just before 1 p.m. near 1250 N. Capri Drive. First responders from both the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Santa Monica Fire Department were quickly on the scene. This isn't a rarity: Air traffic controllers often steer pilots toward golf courses during controlled crashes. For example, in 2015, Harrison Ford landed his plane on a course next to the same airport, Santa Monica. Founded in 1926 by the Los Angeles Athletic Club, Riviera ranks No. 4 on Golfweek's Best list of private courses in California and is No. 17 on the list of classic courses in the United States. It has previously hosted the 1995 PGA Championship, 1998 U.S. Senior Open and 2017 U.S. Amateur. It's also set to host the 2026 U.S. Women's Open and the 2031 U.S. Open as well as the men's and women's golf competitions at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Riviera is the site of the Tour's Genesis Invitational, hosted by Tiger Woods.
