Defending champion and world No. 1 Nelly Korda will lead a star‑studded field May 8–11 when the LPGA Tour returns to Liberty National Golf Club for the second Mizuho Americas Open. Eight of the tour’s top 10 players are committed to the $3 million event, one of the richest non‑majors on the LPGA schedule.
Tournament host Michelle Wie West, an ambassador for title sponsor Mizuho Americas, will oversee a week that again pairs 24 of the nation’s top junior girls with LPGA pros in a concurrent AJGA Invitational. Last year’s junior champion, Yana Wilson, has accepted a sponsor exemption into the professional field, while 2024 winner Gianna Clemente and Short Hills native Aphrodite Deng headline the junior lineup.
New for 2025, Mizuho will present the “A Name Worth Knowing Award,” funding a Liberty National ACE Grant for a female junior golfer from the tri‑state region who exemplifies integrity, passion, agility, creativity and empathy. The week also features two leadership programs: the second annual DrivHer Summit with Girls Inc. and the inaugural Breaking Barriers Summit, produced with Front Office Sports.
General‑admission tickets run $25–$40 per day (or $100 for a weekly pass); juniors 17 and under, veterans, active‑duty military and first responders receive free entry. Premium hospitality and sponsorship packages are available.
