2023 Tournament Updates
Mizuho Americas Announces Girls Inc. as Charitable Partner
for the LPGA Mizuho Americas Open
Inaugural Tournament Set for May 29-June 4 at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, NJ
Mizuho Americas, the NYC-headquartered arm of one of the largest financial institutions in the world and new title sponsor on the LPGA Tour, has announced Girls Inc. as its Charitable Partner for the Mizuho Americas Open, taking place May 29th - June 4th at the prestigious Liberty National Golf Club. Girls Inc. equips girls and young women - particularly those from low-income communities and girls of color - to reach their full potential and overcome challenges.
“We created this tournament to showcase excellence, equity, and opportunity while celebrating women and the next generation of talent,” said Shuji Matsuura, Chairman & CEO, Mizuho Americas. “Girls Inc. was the natural choice as our non-profit partner, as we share their commitment to helping elevate those whose talent and contributions might have otherwise gone unrealized.”
The three-year, $500,000 partnership with Mizuho Americas will enable Girls Inc. to make resources more accessible to its network of 76 affiliates throughout the United States and Canada. As a result, Girls Inc. anticipates it will equip thousands of girls with leadership skills over the grant period.
“We are honored to be chosen as the Charitable Partner for this groundbreaking tournament,” said Stephanie J. Hull, President and CEO, Girls Inc. “With Mizuho Americas’ support, we will engage thousands of girls in the Girls Inc. Experience that is proven to help them succeed and lead fulfilling and productive lives, while becoming leaders in their communities.”
Through direct service and advocacy, Girls Inc. prepares girls to be leaders today and in the future by helping them master foundational academic skills, practice healthy behaviors, and build positive relationships with peers and adults. Professionally-trained staff and volunteers provide mentorship, safe spaces, and programming that address the unique challenges girls face and are proven to help girls thrive.
“At every level, we have sought to make the Mizuho Americas Open a purpose-driven tournament,” said Cheryl Gilberg, Chief Marketing Officer, Mizuho Americas. “From a higher purse, to providing lodging for all the players, to partnering with a nonprofit whose mission is to develop leadership skills in young girls, we want our sponsorship to be wholly representative of our corporate values.”
The Mizuho Americas Open is one of the largest non-Major Championship purses on the LPGA Tour and provides junior golfers a first-of-its-kind opportunity to compete alongside the LPGA’s top professionals for an unprecedented week of education and access.
“The Mizuho Americas Open keeps getting better,” said Ricki Lasky, Chief Tour Business and Operations Officer, LPGA. “We are looking forward to a unique tournament that not only features the best in the game alongside the future of the sport, but an event that advances opportunities for girls and women on and off the golf course.”
