🏆 2026 KPMG Women's PGA Championship Field Hub
2026 KPMG Women's PGA Championship Field Overview
The KPMG Women's PGA Championship is one of the five majors in women’s golf and is scheduled for June 25-28, 2026 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.
Unlike the U.S. Women's Open field page, this is not built around completed 36-hole qualifying sites. The KPMG Women's PGA field is built through exemption categories, LPGA winner status, major championship winner status, Rolex Rankings, LPGA Professionals/PGA of America qualifying paths, sponsor invites, maternity policy, current-season points, and LPGA Priority List movement.
Field status: CaddyBytes currently lists 64 entered players from the current official LPGA entries snapshot. The championship criteria call for a 156-player field, so this page should continue to be updated as the commitment deadline, sponsor invites, the Meijer LPGA Classic winner hold, reserves, withdrawals, and final LPGA field adjustments settle.

👥 2026 KPMG Women's PGA Championship Field of Players
The current CaddyBytes listed field includes 64 entered players from the official LPGA entries snapshot: KPMG champions, recent major winners, LPGA tournament winners, Order of Merit / tour points winners, 2025 KPMG top-10 returners, Rolex Rankings entries, LPGA/PGA professional qualifiers, a maternity entry, and CME Globe points entries.
The full championship field is expected to reach 156 players, so this is not the final starting field. Continue checking for late LPGA points-list additions, LPGA Priority List fill-ins, sponsor invites, the Meijer LPGA Classic winner hold, withdrawals, reserves, and final official field adjustments. Scroll down to open the 64-player current entered-field dropdown.
- Current page status: converted from the Women's U.S. Open field-page layout into a KPMG Women's PGA Championship field tracker.
- Current entered-field count: 64 players listed as entered in the current CaddyBytes snapshot.
- Expected full field size: 156 players.
- Host course: Hazeltine National Golf Club, Chaska, Minnesota.
- Championship dates: June 25-28, 2026.
- Important distinction: this is not a U.S. Women's Open-style 36-hole qualifying page; KPMG uses championship criteria, LPGA entries, professional exemptions, reserves, and points/priority movement.

- The 2026 KPMG Women's PGA Championship is scheduled for June 25-28 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.
- The championship criteria call for a 156-player field.
- The current entered-field snapshot on this page is smaller than the final field and should be updated as additional entries are confirmed.
- The KPMG Women's PGA Championship field is not built the same way as the U.S. Women's Open field; it does not use the same completed 36-hole qualifying list format.
- KPMG champions, recent major winners, LPGA winners, Rolex Rankings entries, LPGA professional qualifiers, the PGA Women's Stroke Play entry, sponsor invites, maternity policy, and points/priority list fill-ins all matter here.
- The official entries page may change quickly as the LPGA fills the field and reserve players move in.
🟢 CaddyBytes Field Update Note
This page has been converted from the Women's U.S. Open field-page structure into a KPMG Women's PGA Championship field tracker. The page now separates the current 64-player entered field, KPMG champions and recent major winners, LPGA winners / Rolex Rankings entries, LPGA/PGA professional entries, and the reserve / late field movement list. The next maintenance step is to compare against the official LPGA entries page as the championship moves closer to the final 156-player field at Hazeltine.
