What is the significance of Riviera hosting the US Women’s Open?
Be the right club today.
That's better than most. How about him? That is better than most. Better than most.
Expect anything.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the No Laying Up podcast. Solly here. Apologies for the AirPods for this intro. We are ending our trip here in Scotland, headed out west to L.A. to Riviera for the United States Women's Open. That is what today's episode is all about. We're going to preview this. We recorded this a couple weeks ago before we left for Scotland. We're going to be heading out there.
How will the course setup differ for the US Women’s Open compared to the PGA Tour?
Got a lot of fun stuff on tap. We'll have a live show on Friday night. We're going to be hanging out with our friends from Ally on Thursday night. If you're going to be around, come on out, hang out. Today's episode is going to be presented to you by our friends at Titleist and the new Titleist GTS drivers. Every week, the list of players switching to GTS drivers gets longer. Last week's Charles Schwab Challenge on the PGA Tour, 43 of the 59 Titleist drivers in play were the new GTS 2, GTS 3, or GTS 4 models. GTS was also the choice of the NCAA Division I Women's Champion. Players continue to put their trust in Titleist driver performance and technology at the game's highest levels. Over the past week, Titleist was the most played driver on both the PGA Tour, LPGA, as well as the NCAA Men's and Women's D1 Championships.
I am going to put a lot of my stock into this. The GTS is the greatest driver I've ever hit in my entire life. I'm in the GTS 3. I have never driven a golf ball like this. You're going to hear this a lot from me.
What storylines are emerging for this year’s US Women’s Open?
It is out of control. I can't even describe how well I'm driving it. The stats back it up as well. I used it all week here in Scotland. It does not go left on me. I can trust it in any wind, any ball flight. I can bomb it high. I can hit it low. I can draw. I'm... absolutely blown away by this driver. They're going to have to pry it for my dead cold hands. It is the best driver I've ever hit and I'm driving it better than I ever have in my entire life. And that is as honest as I could possibly be about it. So go to Titleist.com, find a fitting near you.
How does weather impact the course conditions for the tournament?
Let's get to the podcast. ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the no laying up podcast solly here it is finally when they when they said that the us women's open was going to riviera in 2026 i remember that feeling like it was not a real year that we would ever reach but we have reached it uh and we are here to preview uh this week big randy is here hello mr big hello everybody very excited i'm like you solly i remember being so stoked and thinking oh my god it's so far in the future and here here we are tc is here hello tc

cody is here hello cody hello excited boys uh you know nothing nothing gets you going quite like the us women's open well randy you've always had this affinity for riv uh you know we always obviously talk about riv every year when it rolls around for the genesis you know every once in a blue moon you're gonna get the year like we got this past year in the winter and and we all say that yeah the genesis should move to a different time of year blah blah blah what is about riv that really captivates you and uh has you stoked for this week
I just, listen, some of it is silly and I think some of it is serious. I think Riv is just a really cool piece of land, kind of, well, in the Pacific Palisades, but near LA, Southern California, this very tony country club. But the golf course, man, God, it just, every time growing up, it'd roll around in February, the weather where I was is so shitty, and it just looked marvelous all the time on television. And I think it yielded some of the more interesting golf we would see on, I'm speaking now of the PGA Tour, of the West Coast swing, always seemed to produce really good leaderboards, some iconic holes. Like it's rare for me to be able to remember a lot of holes from just like, annual tour stops right because the courses aren't really the star of the show and i i always thought riv kind of was the star of the show and uh the big cypress trees the kukuya grass the barrancas like it just felt very foreign to me growing up in the midwest and so there's this like mythology in my mind it's just like man it's california cool and
