When Walter Wang and his wife Shirley took over the JM Eagle LA Championship in 2023, they promptly doubled the purse from $1.5 million to $3 million. Now, three years later, the Wangs boast the highest purse on the LPGA outside the majors and CME.
Wang, JM Eagle's CEO, surprised everyone when he announced a $1 million increase to the purse on Saturday while in the Golf Channel booth. The move brought the purse for the week to $4.75 million and increased the winner's share to $712,500.
Australia's Hannah Green survived a wild Sunday finish in L.A., coming out on top in a three-way playoff against Sei Young Kim and Jin Hee Im. Green shot 31 on the back side and then birdied the first extra hole to win her third title in L.A. and eighth career LPGA victory. She has $8.8 million in official career earnings.
Green has now won four titles worldwide in 2026, including the HSBC Women's World Championship, Australian Open and Australian WPGA.
