World No. 1 Nelly Korda headlines the list of early commitments for the 2025 JM Eagle LA Championship, which takes place this year at El Caballero Country Club in Los Angeles as the tournament's usual host, Wilshire Country Club, undergoes renovations.
Korda is one of seven top-10 players in the world who have signed up for the April 17-20 event. She's joined by two-time defending champion Hannah Green (No. 5) as well as Jeeno Thitikul (2), Fountain Valley, California’s Lilia Vu (6), Ayaka Furue (7), Jin Young Ko (8) and Haeran Ryu (9).
In addition, Rianne Malixi, who won the U.S. Girls' Junior at El Caballero Country Club last summer, will compete on a sponsor exemption. Malixi also won the U.S. Women's Amateur in 2025. The incoming Duke freshman will compete next week at the Augusta National Women's Amateur.
In January, JM Eagle donated $1.5 million to support wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles and has pledged to donate an additional $5 million. The tournament will provide complimentary grounds tickets to those impacted by the Eaton and Palisades Fires.
