Los Angeles set to host back-to-back LPGA events for first time; fans can purchase a ‘Dual Ticket’

For the first time in tour history, Los Angeles will host back-to-back events on the LPGA. To make it easy to follow, fans will be able to purchase an “LA LPGA Dual Ticket,” a weekly grounds pass for both events. The JTBC LA Open kicks off the fortnight, returning for a fourth year to Wilshire Country Club April 21-24. This marks the first time fans will be on property since 2019.

The new JTBC Championship at Palos Verdes takes place the following week, April 28-May 1, at a course that will be extremely familiar to many on tour. Palos Verdes has hosted the Northrup Grumman Regional Challenge collegiate event for the past 25 years, and past individual winners include Lorena Ochoa, Carlota Ciganda, Natalie Gulbis, Brittany Lang, Bronte Law, Andrea Lee, Leona Maguire, and Annie Park. This will be the first professional event ever staged at the club.

Both 72-hole tournaments will feature fields of 144 players and purses of $1.5 million.

Brooke Henderson notched her 10^th victory on tour at last year’s JTBC LA Open without fans. The 2020 event was canceled due to the pandemic.

Both tournaments will give complimentary tickets to all service personnel, including military (active, retired, reserve, and veteran), fire, police, and EMS and their immediate family (up to four tickets). Kids under 17 will be admitted free with a paid adult.
