The third Pro Tour event in the 1996-97 season was held in Los Angeles between 28 February and 2 March, 1997. It was the first Pro Tour to return to a previous location, and used the Rochester Draft format. It was won by the Finn Tommi Hovi in a controversial Grand Final where his opponent, David Mills, was disqualified due to repeated game-play violations.
