“The stage is set once again at the beautiful El Caballero Country Club. We are thrilled to see so many of the LPGA Tour’s superstars back to Los Angeles this year, showing their love and support for the city that shares the same level of resilience, strength and passion as these pro athletes,” said Walter and Shirley Wang, CEOs of JM Eagle and Plastpro. “As the city’s premier LPGA Tour event, the JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro represents far more than a sporting event. It is a powerful platform for giving back to the community. We look forward to making a lasting impact on and off the course, and celebrating the world’s greatest female golfers as they pursue their dreams on the LPGA Tour and inspire the next generation.” 

JM Eagle Rebuilding Five Homes of Los Angeles Firefighters in 2026
Following the LA fires in 2025, JM Eagle donated a total of $6.5 million to support wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles to multiple organizations, including the Los Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association, the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, the California Fire Foundation and the Los Angeles Police Foundation to support Los Angeles firefighters and first responders with necessary gear and equipment and towards rebuilding communities affected by the fires.

JM Eagle is continuing to be a leader in the greater Los Angeles community in the LA wildfire rebuilding efforts. In 2026, JM Eagle donated a total of $1 million to rebuild five homes of Los Angeles firefighters and their families in Altadena, Calif. From supporting wildfire relief to uplifting the greater Los Angeles community, the Wangs align the tournament with a greater purpose.

“We are grateful that we can lend a helping hand to our neighbors and our heroes in need who lost everything while protecting our communities,” continued Walter and Shirley Wang. “Together, we are not only rebuilding the city, but also restoring hope. Los Angeles has always been defined by its resilience, and together we will rise from the ashes.”

“We are honored to once again attract the best players in the game back to Los Angeles and El Caballero Country Club for the 2026 JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro,” said Megan Herrera, JM Eagle LA Championship tournament director. “We are tremendously grateful to JM Eagle and Plastpro in supporting the LPGA Tour, its players and in giving back to the community as Los Angeles continues to rebuild.”
