Lydia Ko: Is Lydia Ko playing at the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship?

Lydia Ko will be playing at the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship this week. The third Major of the season will take place at Fields Ranch East from June 19th to 22nd, 2025.

Ko has three Major titles to her credit - the Evian Championship in 2015, the Chevron Championship (then ANA Inspiration) in 2016, and the AIG Women's Open in 2024. However, she has yet to win the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

Her best performance at the event came in 2016 when she finished second behind Brooke Henderson. Last year, she placed T46 as Amy Yang took home the title.

Lydia Ko will be on the hunt for her maiden victory at the tournament this week at the Frisco. She last competed at the US Women's Open in May. The World no. 3 placed T26 with a total score of 3-over as Maja Stark triumphed at the second Major of the year.

Ko has recorded one win so far this season, at the HSBC Women's World Championship. With a total score of 9-under, she won with a margin of four strokes.

However, the Kiwi golfer is yet to clinch a Major title this season, something she will be looking to do at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship this week.
