Ladies pro golf to return to Wilshire Country Club April 27
PLAYERS at the Wilshire Country Club in 2018
Players will compete for $3 million purse
The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) will return to the Wilshire Country Club Thurs., April 27, to Sun., April 30, with the inaugural JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro.
The 72-hole tournament will feature 144 golf professionals competing over for a share of the $3 million purse — one of the largest prize funds on the LPGA Tour outside of major championships. It is double the size of the purse at the LPGA tournaments at Wilshire in previous years. “Los Angeles and Wilshire Country Club have a rich history in professional golf, and we look forward to working with our partners at JM Eagle, Plastpro and the LPGA Tour in delivering a best-in-class experience for our fans, players and tournament partners,” said Tim Erensen, managing partner for Outlyr, tournament operator for the JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro.
JM Eagle is the world’s largest plastic pipe manufacturer and is headed by CEO Walter Wang. Plastpro, founded by Shirley Wang, is a leading manufacturer of fiberglass entry doors. Since 2018, the LPGA Tour has staged its signature Los Angeles event at Wilshire Country Club. Visit wilshirecountryclub.com/lpga for more information.
