The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship takes place at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota from 25 to 28 June 2026. One of 5 major championships on the LPGA Tour and jointly organised by the PGA of America and the LPGA, this edition marks the return of women’s major golf to one of America’s most celebrated venues. The event returns to Hazeltine for the first time since 2019, when Australian Hannah Green produced a memorable wire-to-wire victory.
Hazeltine National Golf Club
Hazeltine National Golf Club sits approximately 25 miles south-west of Minneapolis and is one of the most decorated host venues in American golf. Since Robert Trent Jones Sr designed the course in 1962, it has staged some of the most significant championships in the sport’s history.
The men’s game has visited twice for the PGA Championship: Rich Beem won in 2002, while YE Yang produced one of the tournament’s great upsets in 2009 by overtaking Tiger Woods on the final day. The 2016 Ryder Cup, which the United States won by 17 to 11, brought a global audience to Minnesota and confirmed Hazeltine’s reputation as a venue capable of staging the very biggest occasions in golf.
For women’s golf, the 2019 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship was a landmark event. Hannah Green, then a relative newcomer to the tour, led from the opening round and held on by 1 stroke to claim her first major title. She was just the third player in the championship’s history to win wire-to-wire, and the performance announced her as a player of genuine quality. The 2026 edition will look to match that level of drama.
The Hazeltine layout measures over 7,000 yards from the championship tees. Long, demanding par fours place a premium on accuracy and length off the tee, while several risk-reward holes offer opportunities for players willing to be aggressive. The course provides a thorough examination of the full range of skills required to win a major championship.
A World-Class Field
The 156-player field for the 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship is drawn from the LPGA Tour world rankings, exemption categories, and qualifying pathways including the PGA Women’s Stroke Play Championship and the top finishers from the LPGA Professionals National Championship.
Leading the conversation ahead of the 2026 edition is Nelly Korda, the American star who holds the world No. 1 ranking. Korda won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in 2021 and has since cemented her position as the dominant player in women’s golf over recent seasons. Returning to Hazeltine, the venue where the Women’s PGA was last played, with the chance to claim a 2nd title at this event would represent another landmark in an already remarkable career.
Beyond Korda, the field will include all the leading players from South Korea, Japan, Australia, Europe, and the United States who have made the LPGA Tour one of the world’s strongest international sporting competitions in any discipline. The depth of talent on the modern tour means any number of players are capable of winning on a demanding course like Hazeltine when their form and nerve hold across 4 rounds of major championship golf.
The Championship’s History
The Women’s PGA Championship was first played in 1955, making it one of the oldest events in women’s professional golf. It became an official LPGA major in 1979 and has since been won by many of the greatest players in the history of the game.
Inbee Park dominated the championship in the early 2010s, winning 3 consecutive editions from 2011 to 2013 in a run of sustained excellence rarely matched in major golf. Annika Sorenstam, Karrie Webb, Se Ri Pak, and Lorena Ochoa are among the Hall of Fame members to have lifted the Wanamaker Trophy. More recently, Brooke Henderson, Danielle Kang, and Nelly Korda have joined that distinguished list.
KPMG became the title sponsor in 2015, bringing with it the KPMG Women’s Leadership Summit that runs alongside the tournament each year. This programme connects the championship to a broader initiative focused on professional development and mentoring for women in business, adding a dimension to the event that extends well beyond the competitive golf itself.
