Mizuho Americas has renewed its title sponsorship of the Mizuho Americas Open on the LPGA Tour for another five years through to 2030.
Ahead of the 2025 event at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City from May 8-11, Mizuho have announced they have secured the tournament’s future through 2030.
The company also announced it will raise the event’s purse to $3.25 million starting in 2026, establishing it among the highest-paying non-major tournaments on the LPGA Tour.
The Mizuho Americas Open first joined the LPGA Tour calendar in 2023 when won by Rose Zhang, while world number one Nelly Korda was victorious in 2024.
The tournament will maintain its innovative format, pairing rising stars from the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) with the world’s top women golfers, and will continue to be staged in the New York City metropolitan area.
While Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City will remain the event’s long-term home, the tournament will move to Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, New Jersey, for 2026 and 2027.
The Mizuho Americas Open will then return to Liberty National from 2028 through 2030.
