The pilot's decision to land in the Riviera Country Club came after he was unable to reach the nearby Santa Monica Airport. The dramatic video shows that the plane loses control, ends up, hops slightly and then ends up a hard landing on the uneven golf course.

The video also caught one of the golfers who said: “Saint quickly!” When the plane races. A few seconds later, a cart driver reacted quickly and called out “I move, I move!”

The dramatic incident quickly made its way to social media, with the golf personality Roger Steele shared a video of the crash landing on the platform X. He said he said:

“This happens at RIV today. I pray that I am never so late for a T -shirt time, but I pray for the means to fall if I was.”

Phil Mickelson, known for his insightful comments, could not be and mingled and said: “Full flaps. Prop feathered. Looks as if everyone is in order.”

Other fans could not resist to react to the incident with a mixture of humor and relief. A commentator joked “This is a way to get to the course faster!”

The Riviera Country Club, the place of this shattering incident, has a special place in the golf world. It is known for the hosts of Genesis Invitational, a PGA tour event, which normally takes place there every year and is organized by Tiger Woods.

Although this year's edition was moved to Torrey Pines due to forest fires in the Los Angeles area, Riviera Country Club will organize the golf competitions for men and women at the 2028 Olympic Games.
