Tournament Officials, Palos Verdes Golf Club and the LPGA Tour Announce New Two-Year Partnership Extension

The 2024 LA Open will take place March 18-24

PALOS VERDES ESTATES Calif., July 25, 2023 – Palos Verdes Golf Club (PVGC), Outlyr and the LPGA Tour announced today an extension for the LA Open to be hosted at PVGC through 2025. The tournament will return to Palos Verdes Golf Club for a second year with slightly modified dates next spring, taking place March 18-24, 2024. The championship will once again feature a field of 144 of the world’s top professional golfers competing for a share of the $1.75 million purse.

“We are thrilled to welcome back the LPGA Tour to Palos Verdes Golf Club for a third year,” said Steve Lopes, President at Palos Verdes Golf Club. “It is an honor to have the opportunity to elevate women’s sports and to be able to offer the players, fans and local community a world-class event that everyone can enjoy.”

“Palos Verdes Golf Club has quickly become a very popular golf course on the LPGA Tour schedule and has a rich history with many of our players going back to their college years,” said Ricki Lasky, the LPGA’s Chief Tour Business and Operations Officer. “We will continue building on the tournament’s tremendous momentum and look forward to returning to the Los Angeles area and Palos Verdes Golf Club in 2024 for the LA Open.”

Often referred to as the “hidden gem” in Southern California, Palos Verdes Golf Club has a long history hosting women’s golf events. The 2024 playing of the LA Open will mark the tournament’s second year at PVGC and third consecutive LPGA Tour event. The LA Open made its debut in 2018, marking the LPGA Tour’s return to Los Angeles for more than a decade. In 2023, 20-year-old Ruoning Yin earned her first LPGA Tour victory and became the Tour’s second winner from the People’s Republic of China. Nasa Hataoka (2022), Brooke Henderson (2021), Minjee Lee (2019) and Moriya Jutanugarn (2018) also hold LA Open titles.

“Palos Verdes Golf Club has been a tremendous host for the LPGA Tour, and we look forward to continuing our relationship in continuing to build the LA Open as a must-attend event for players and spectators alike,” said James Clark, vice president of Outlyr and tournament director for the LA Open.

In 2022, PVGC hosted the Palos Verdes Championship presented by Bank of America, with Marina Alex capturing her first LPGA Tour win since 2018. The course also has hosted the Northrop Grumman (now the Therese Hession) Regional Challenge women’s collegiate championship for the past 27 years. Past individual winners include future LPGA Tour winners Carlota Ciganda, Natalie Gulbis, Brittany Lang, Bronte Law, Andrea Lee, Leona Maguire, Lorena Ochoa, Annie Park and Rose Zhang.

Tournament officials will be announcing in the coming months additional information on the LA Open, including ticket options and volunteer opportunities. The LA Open is operated by Outlyr, a global event management, sponsorship consulting and activation agency.
