The 2015 NoTrust Open Is Ready And Set For Riviera!

With the demise of the WGC Match Play as a February event, the 2015 Northern Trust Open field at Riviera took a noticeable star power hit.

In 2014, with the match play the week after the Northern Trust Open, the field included 16 of the world's top 30 and 26 of the top 50.

This year, it's 11 of the world top 30 are in the field and 18 of the top 50.

SB Nation has a nice round up of viewing times and tournament notes.

I discussed Riviera's history with Matt Ginella on Wednesday's Morning Drive.

Earlier in the week we talked Riviera's design.

As always, the 10th hole is receiving much attention and now gets long overdue "Live@" coverage starting at 7 am PT and going all day.

Here's the link. DirecTV subscribers can also watch the coverage all four days on their televisions (the PGA Tour and DirecTV just re-upped for give years).
