2026 JM Eagle LA Championship prize money payouts for each LPGA player
On Saturday, the purse increased $1 million to $4.75 million with Hannah Green banking $712,500 for winning.
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.
💥In a total surprise move, JM Eagle CEO Walter Wang called LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler moments before he went in the booth just to make sure he could up the purse by $1 million on the spot. No one knew! pic.
