Here’s the latest I could gather about the JM Eagle LA Championship purse.
- In 2024, the purse was raised to $3.75 million, making it the largest prize fund for a regular-season LPGA Tour event outside the majors and the CME Group Tour Championship. This split boosted the season’s total prize money to over $120 million.[1][5]
- Several outlets highlighted that increase as a milestone for women’s golf, with the organizers (JM Eagle and Plastpro) aiming to elevate opportunities for players and fans in Los Angeles.[5][1]
- The 2024 purse of $3.75 million was widely reported as a record for non-major regular-season events, reinforcing the trend toward larger prize pools on the LPGA Tour that year.[2][5]
Illustration: The purse trend for the JM Eagle LA Championship shows a step-up from prior years (e.g., $3.0 million in 2023) to $3.75 million in 2024, marking a notable increase in LPGA regular-season prize funds.[2][5]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current press releases or LPGA updates to confirm whether there were subsequent purse changes for 2025 or 2026 and provide exact figures. Would you like me to check those now?[5]
