“We are very excited to expand our footprint in Los
Angeles with back-to-back events in the area for the first
time, adding to the Tour’s already prominent presence
in Southern California,” said LPGA Commissioner
Mollie Marcoux Samaan. “We want to thank our friends
and longtime partners at JTBC for providing us the
opportunity to bring the stars of the women’s game to
the heart of Los Angeles, one of the largest broadcast
markets in the world.”
“Los Angeles has a rich history in professional golf,
and we look forward to strengthening the LPGA Tour’s
presence in embarking on a new spring tradition in
women’s golf with these consecutive events in Los
Angeles,” said Patrick Healy, executive director for the
JTBC LA Open and JTBC Championship at Palos Verdes.
“We look forward to working with JTBC in showcasing
Wilshire Country Club and Palos Verdes Golf Club to the
LPGA Tour’s global audience.”

Historic Wilshire Country Club returns as the host venue
for the JTBC LA Open for a fourth year and will welcome
fans back to the championship for the first time since
2019. The tournament made its debut in 2018, marking
the LPGA Tour’s return to Los Angeles in more than a
decade. Brooke Henderson captured her 10th LPGA
Tour win at 16-under par at the 2021 edition of the
championship, contested without fans in attendance.
