Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods are the two greatest golfers ever to walk the planet. We won’t get into the GOAT conversation here, but no matter the order, they should be No. 1 and No. 2 on any list. But for whatever reason, the two legends who’ve combined to win 155 PGA Tour events and 33 major championships could never win at Riviera Country Club.

Seriously. Of the incredible list of winners at the famed Pacific Palisades club, which has hosted the tournament now known as the Genesis Invitational (formerly the Los Angeles Open) close to 75 times (and a few major championships), neither Jack Nicklaus nor Tiger Woods is on it.

Now, it’s not as if both didn’t have their chances.

In his first appearance at Riviera in 1973, Nicklaus finished sixth, just four shots back of winner Rod Funseth. Five years later, he was tied for the lead at the LA Open but double-bogeyed the 15th and bogeyed the 16th, ultimately losing by two to Gil Morgan. Another five years later, Nicklaus was the runner-up at the 1983 PGA Championship, losing to Hal Sutton by a stroke.

As for Tiger Woods, who made his PGA Tour debut at Riviera at the age of 16 in 1992, he had several top-five finishes, including a tie for second in 1999. But Riviera remains the venue he’s played the most without a victory.

As for the historic list of players who have earned a victory (or multiple) at Riviera Country Club, here’s a look at all of them.
