After a two-week break, the LPGA Tour returns with one of the biggest events of the season, the JM Eagle LA Championship at El Caballero Country Club, a change of venue while its regular home, Wilshire Country Club, undergoes a restoration.

As well as being a prestigious event in its own right, the tournament also offers players the chance to gain some momentum ahead of next week’s first women’s Major of the year, the Chevron Championship.

Last year, the JM Eagle LA Championship set a new record for the highest purse in a regular season event, $3.75m, and there’s an identical sum on offer this week.

In 2024, Hannah Green took full advantage of that incentive, winning for the second successive year to claim prize money of $562,500 and that’s the reward for this year’s winner as well.

As usual, Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking points are also available, while the winner will claim 500 Race to the CME Globe points.

Below is the prize money payout for the JM Eagle LA Championship.
