Direct answer: The latest widely reported figure is that the 2026 JM Eagle LA Championship purse was increased to 4.75 million dollars, with the winner's share set at 712,500 dollars. This makes it one of the richest LPGA regular-season events outside majors and the CME Globe Tour Championship.[2][4][5]
Additional context:
- The purse was projected/announced as 3.75 million for 2024, marking a historic uplift at that time, and has since been boosted further in 2026 according to cycling reporting from golf outlets.[1][3]
- The event is held at Wilshire Country Club in Los Angeles and has drawn strong fields including top players, reflecting its elevated prize money in recent years.[3][6]
If you’d like, I can pull exact breakdowns for 2026 (winner’s share, runner-up, and per-round distributions) and map any year-over-year changes in the purse.
