Dedicated to Growing Women’s Golf, JM Eagle and Plastpro CEOs Walter and Shirley Wang More than Doubled the Tournament Purse in Two Years From $1.5 to $3.75 Million
Los Angeles’ Premier LPGA Tour Event, the JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro to Take Place at El Caballero Country Club, April 14-20, 2025
The JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro, Los Angeles’ signature LPGA Tour event, was announced as the ‘2024 LPGA Tournament of the Year’ at the LPGA Tour’s season-ending Gold Driver Awards, recognizing outstanding achievements and contributions across a variety of categories on the LPGA Tour.
Celebrating its third year in 2025, the JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro has for two years taken place at the historic Wilshire Country Club. Walter and Shirley Wang, CEOs of JM Eagle and Plastpro, doubled the previous purse from $1.5 to $3 million in its first year, making the tournament the first LPGA Tour event outside of the major championships and the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship to feature a $3 million purse. A year later, 11 regular season LPGA Tour events boasted tournament purses of $3 million or higher. The JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro has undeniably played a pivotal role in inspiring other LPGA events to raise the prominence of women’s golf.
