The Mizuho Americas Open is one of the newer LPGA Tour events, inaugurated in 2023 with Mizoho as the title sponsor. The event's field is the top 24 American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) Tour players and 120 golf professionals. The event is held at the Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, New Jersey, in the United States, and has a purse of $3 million with the winner's share of $450,000.
Rose Zhang won the inaugural tournament in 2023; in her professional debut, Zhang overcame Jennifer Kupcho on the second hole in a sudden-death playoff. She made history by being the first player to win in her LPGA Tour professional debut since 1951 (Beverly Hanson) and the most recent non-member to win in an LPGA event since 2019 (Hinako Shibuno).
Who won the Mizuho Americas Open in 2024?
Nelly Korda won the 2024 Mizuho Americas Open; this was her sixth consecutive LPGA Tour win in 2024, and overall 19th, defeating Hannah Green by one stroke at 14-under 274. She won the $450,000 winner's share of the $3 million purse.
Korda's two-shot lead at the beginning of the day was maintained with her final-round 71. Ariya Jutanugarn, Jennifer Kupcho, and Chanettee Wannasaen—who lost to Rose Zhang in a playoff here last year—tied for third place, three shots behind the Australian Green.
As the winner of the competition, Korda gained 500 points in the Race to the CME Globe, where the top 60 players advance to the CME Group Tour Championship, which concludes the season. This was the second of three events this season in New Jersey. A total of 58 players finished the tournament. However, the cut was limited to the top 50 players and ties in this 120-player event.
The venue for the event was the Liberty National Golf Club, which is located on Upper New York Bay next to Liberty State Park. It has previously hosted the 2017 Presidents Cup. The club is among the most costly golf courses in history, having cost more than $250 million to construct. Robert E. Cupp and Tom Kite designed the course, while Lindsay Newman Architecture and Design created the clubhouse and guest villas, among other amenities.
