The LPGA announced Friday that the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship will no longer be held on March 20-23 as was originally scheduled.
The postponement came as a result of the event underwriter failing any portion of its payment obligations to the LPGA Tour in 2024 and 2025. The LPGA remains committed with the title sponsor Fir Hills and tournament host, five-time major champion Seri Pak. They hope to reschedule the event when it is possible.
“We are deeply disappointed to announce this year’s FIR HILLS SERI PAK Championship will not go forward in March,” said Interim LPGA Commissioner Liz Moore. “We apologize for the impact this has on our players, as well as on our fans, partners and volunteers. We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the staff and members at Palos Verdes Golf Club, Palos Verdes Estates, and tournament operator, Outlyr, for their exceptional partnership and hospitality. It is our intention to return to Palos Verdes in the future to host title sponsor, FIR HILLS, once again alongside these great partners. We remain dedicated to bringing this event back to our schedule to honor the incredible legacy of Seri Pak, who has been a wonderful ambassador for the game and this event.”
The event has been a popular one in the past few years. Officially previously the LA Open, it was played at Wilshire Country Club before moving outside of Los Angeles to nearby Palos Verdes in 2023. In 2024, world No. 1 Nelly Korda won her second tournament in a playoff over Ryann O’Toole. It was the second win in her five-tournament winning streak to begin the season.
The JM Eagle LA Championship will still be played in the Los Angeles area in April.
