Field of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship explored
World No. 1 Nelly Korda headlines the field at Fields Ranch East in Frisco, Texas, as she aims to capture her third career Major title. The 2021 KPMG Women's PGA champion added to her Major tally earlier last season with a win at The Chevron Championship.
Korda finished second at the U.S. Women’s Open at Erin Hills and tied for 15th at the ShopRite LPGA Classic the following week. She opted not to compete in the Meijer LPGA Classic, choosing instead to rest ahead of the season’s third Major championship.
Joining her in the field are the year’s first two Major winners, Mao Saigo and Maja Stark. Saigo claimed her first major title at The Chevron Championship and was in contention again at the U.S. Women’s Open before falling off the pace over the weekend. Stark went on to secure her first Major win at Erin Hills, overtaking the field to emerge victorious.
This will mark Stark’s third appearance at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. She is looking to improve on her past results in the event, having tied for 60th in 2024 and missing the cut in 2023. Saigo, by contrast, posted a top-10 finish at last year’s edition, tying for seventh at Sahalee.
