This will be the third edition of the tournament. Hannah Green was the winner on both occasions, but JM Eagle LA Championship 2025 betting predictions will not consider her the hot favorite since the tournament will be played at a different venue this year.
The tournament debuted in 2023 as the second LPGA event to take place in Los Angeles after the DIO Implant LA Open, which ran from 2018 to 2022. Sportsbooks for golf betting now rank the JM Eagle LA Championship among the top LPGA events to bet on each year.
Past winners of the LPGA JM Eagle LA Championship:
The LPGA 2025 JM Eagle LA Championship odds are now live, so let’s have a look at the top five contenders.
Bookmakers that accept WebMoney are expecting Jeeno Thitikul to lead the field at El Caballero. She has finished T5 in five of the last six competitions she featured in, showing the best consistency on the tour.
Nelly Korda currently tops the LPGA rankings, but recent form keeps her behind Thitikul in JM Eagle LA Championship 2025 betting predictions. However, many fans expect her to step up and clinch the title, and it won’t surprise anyone, in fact.
Haeran Ryu will be aiming to improve on her third-place finish at this event last year. She enters the tournament with the third-best odds to win the JM Eagle LA Championship.
Ayaka Furue has played some impressive golf this season, but a second-place finish at 2025 HSBC Women’s World Championship remains the highlight so far. Furue will hope to win her first silverware of the season in Los Angeles.
Currently, Yealimi Noh sits second in strokes gained on the LPGA Tour. She is a sneaky-good value play if you’re aiming to back someone outside the top-tier favorites like Thitikul and Korda.
Now that we know who has the most favorable odds to win 2025 LA Championship LPGA, it’s time to share our predictions. As always, we will start with the outright pick.

We know that it’s quite a boring pick, but we can’t undermine the red-hot form Thitikul brings to the tournament. She finished 33rd at the LA Championship in 2023, but with the event moving to a new course this year, the world number two could be a serious contender for the title.
As we mentioned earlier, the Thai LPGA star has had an excellent start to the season. That said, she is yet to win a trophy this year. Tied for second with rounds of 71, 72, 66, and 70, Thitikul’s highest finish of the year came at the 2025 HSBC Women’s World Championship.
She followed that up with a third-place finish on home soil at the Honda LPGA Thailand, carding an impressive 68-64-69-66. Most recently, she took fifth at the T-Mobile Match Play. With her game trending upwards, she’ll be hoping to turn the page on her past performances at this LPGA event.

Jin Young Ko struggled in the 2023 JM Eagle LA Championship, finishing T44. But she turned things around in 2024, carding 72-68-72-67 to place T4 behind Hannah Green and Maja Stark. That upward trend could make her a sleeper pick this year.
In the 2025 season so far, Jin Young Ko has teed it up in six LPGA events, with her standout performance coming at the Founders Cup, where she finished runner-up thanks to a superb run of 67-63-66-71. We are backing her to finish top five once again.
We will choose Thitikul to win the tournament and Young Ko to finish the top five as our ultimate golf LA Championship 2025 LPGA predictions.
