Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey, is no stranger to hosting major championship golf. And this week, it adds yet another chapter to its storied history.
The 2023 KMPG Women’s PGA Championship begins Thursday at Baltusrol’s Lower Course. It’s the first time the best women in the world will try to conquer Baltusrol since 1961. The course first hosted a U.S. Women’s Amateur in 1901 and has been a staple in golf’s history since.
Rose Zhang will make her second professional start, trying to build off her victory at the Mizuho Americas Open. Nelly Korda is back after some time off. Then there’s In Gee Chun, who is the defending champion after hoisting the trophy at Congressional last year.
It’s bound to be a terrific week in New Jersey. Here’s a look the best photos from the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
