Karis Davidson has posted the lowest round of her LPGA Tour career to sit just two shots off the lead after day one of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
Three straight majors. Hall of Fame qualification. A place in history. Nelly Korda arrives at Hazeltine this week with everything on the line and she’s treating it like just another week of golf.
The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship has broken new ground before a ball has even been hit at Hazeltine, announcing a record-breaking $US13 million purse for 2026.
Can Nelly Korda make it three majors in a row? The American makes winning look easier than it actually is, but the rest of the field isn’t going to conceded anything to her.
Golf Digest equipment editor E. Michael Johnson caught up with Minjee Lee to discuss her gear, the putter change that lifted her game to another level, why the No.27 will soon adorn her golf ball and the reason the 8-iron is her favourite club in the bag.
It’s mid-June and the LPGA Tour has had 15 different winners. It’s the first time since 2017 that the tour has gone this long without a multiple winner.
Karis Davidson has credited a refreshing, extended break from professional golf last year for catapulting the Queenslander into career-best form in time for her first major start in over a year at this week’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
Turns out Korda sustained neck spasms after hitting out of the rough on the front nine at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco during Monday’s practice round.
Australia’s two biggest stars in women’s golf, Hannah Green and Minjee Lee, fittingly shared the top Australian honours at the Women’s PGA Championship one day before they were set to be confirmed as the country’s Olympic golf team.
Sydney native Steph Kyriacou has turned around her Women’s PGA Championship hopes with a 69 on day two putting her at one-under-par through two rounds and five shots off the halfway lead.
