The Mizuho Americas Open is a women's professional golf tournament on the LPGA Tour. Established in 2023, the tournament was held at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, New Jersey, for its first three editions before moving to Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, New Jersey, in 2026. The event is scheduled to remain at Mountain Ridge in 2027 before returning to Liberty National in 2028.[1]
The tournament features 120 LPGA players competing alongside 24 top-ranked junior girls from the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA), with the juniors playing in a separate Stableford competition.[2][1] The tournament had a prize fund of $2.75 million in its inaugural year, increasing to $3.25 million by 2026.[3][1]
History
The inaugural tournament in June 2023 was won by Rose Zhang, who defeated Jennifer Kupcho on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff in her first tournament as a professional.[4] Zhang became the first player to win in her professional debut on the LPGA Tour since Beverly Hanson in 1951[5] and the most recent non-member to win in her first LPGA event since Hinako Shibuno in 2019.[6]
In 2026, the tournament moved to Mountain Ridge Country Club, which had previously hosted the 2021 Cognizant Founders Cup.[2][1] Jeeno Thitikul defended her title, shooting a final-round 69 to finish at 13-under-par 275 and defeat Yin Ruoning by four strokes.[7]
The tournament is hosted by Michelle Wie West, with Mizuho Financial Group serving as title sponsor.[2]

Liberty National Golf Club sits adjacent to Liberty State Park on the Upper New York Bay.
