The third women’s Major of the year, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship comes from Sahalee Golf Club in Washington, and there are some strong groupings for the opening two rounds.Â
There will be plenty of anticipation Nelly Korda, who won the tournament in 2021, can bounce back from two missed cuts in recent weeks to claim her seventh win of the season. She’s grouped with reigning champion Ruoning Yin and Hannah Green in the first two rounds, with the three getting underway at 11.11am EST (4.11pm BST) on Thursday and 4.28pm EST (9.28pm BST) on Friday.
Another high-profile group sees former World No.1 Lilia Vu tee it up with Minjee Lee and Linn Grant. The trio begin at 4.17pm BST (9.17pm EST) in the opening round, with a tee time of 11.00am EST (4.00pm BST) in the second round.
After announcing she would be retiring from full-time professional game, this could be Lexi Thompson’s final start at the Major. She’s grouped with Jin Young Ko and Yuka Saso, who won the US Women’s Open. They begin at 4.28pm EST (9.28pm BST) on Thursday and 11.11am EST (4.11pm BST) on Friday.
