2026 KPMG Women's PGA Fantasy Golf Picks Final Results
This is the final CaddyBytes fantasy results page for the 2026 KPMG Women's PGA Championship. The tournament is complete, Hae Ran Ryu is the champion, and this page now grades the CaddyBytes fantasy calls rather than re-ranking the field.
The page gets strong credit for the Ryu call, a good live-board adjustment on Yoon, a podium return from Henderson, and useful top-finish value from several names that stayed in the weekend conversation. The misses came from hunch and rebound lanes that did not fully convert into final top-board finishes.
Fantasy golf only. No gambling language. These are CaddyBytes pick grades based on how the published board, live updates, value notes, and hunch calls finished at Hazeltine.
What Matters in the Final Fantasy Grade
The final grade is not a grade on the players. It is a grade on the CaddyBytes page calls: who we emphasized, who we moved up during the live updates, which value names held, and which hunch or rebound lanes did not deliver enough final value.
1. Winner Hit
Ryu winning the championship is the biggest positive result. The page kept her in the main board and she became the final champion.
2. Live-Board Accuracy
Yoon was moved to the live No. 1 spot after 36 holes and still finished second. That was a good live adjustment even after the lead changed.
3. Podium and Top-10 Returns
Henderson, Weber, Lee, Korda, A Lim Kim, Thitikul, Corpuz, and Auston Kim gave the board enough placement value beyond the winner.
4. Hunch and Rebound Misses
Not every watch lane converted. Hannah Green was the clear hunch miss, and several rebound names never became final-board factors.
Final Leaderboard Check: Fantasy Outcome Context
The final board gives the pick grades their context. Ryu won, Yoon held second, Henderson and Weber shared third, and the top-10 included several names from the CaddyBytes live and watch lanes.
| Finish | Player | Score | Final result | CaddyBytes fantasy outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hae Ran Ryu | -13 | Champion | Best page result. Clear winner hit and final-board centerpiece. |
| 2 | Ina Yoon | -11 | Runner-up | Strong live-board call after 36 holes. Finished second despite losing the lead. |
| T3 | Brooke Henderson | -10 | Tied third | Good chase-board validation and podium-level fantasy return. |
| T3 | Dewi Weber | -10 | Tied third | Late-board mover became a strong final placement hit. |
| T5 | Allisen Corpuz | -7 | Tied fifth | Useful final-board placement value from the watch range. |
| T5 | Auston Kim | -7 | Tied fifth | Useful final-board placement value from the visible weekend board. |
| T5 | Alison Lee | -7 | Tied fifth | Good live-board return after moving into the weekend conversation. |
| T8 | A Lim Kim | -6 | Top 10 | Solid partial hit. Stayed useful for placement but did not stay in the title lane. |
| T8 | Nelly Korda | -6 | Top 10 | Partial hit. The elite-anchor call returned a top 10, not a win push. |
| T8 | Jeeno Thitikul | -6 | Top 10 | Partial hit. Stayed relevant enough for placement value. |
| T12 | Karis Davidson | -5 | Top-15 range | Early live-board name finished as a modest placement result. |
| T12 | Gaby Lopez | -5 | Top-15 range | Rebound/watch name produced a useful lower-board finish. |
Final CaddyBytes Pick Grades
These grades judge the fantasy-page calls. A winner or podium result earns the strongest grade, a useful top-10 or top-15 return earns a positive partial grade, and a hunch or rebound note that did not reach the final board gets marked down.
| CaddyBytes call | Final result | Grade | Pick-grade read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hae Ran Ryu | Champion, -13 | A+ | The biggest hit on the page. The board kept her live and she won the major. |
| Ina Yoon | 2nd, -11 | A | Excellent live adjustment after 36 holes. Runner-up finish validates the live-board move. |
| Brooke Henderson | T3, -10 | A- | Strong chase-board call with a podium finish. |
| Dewi Weber | T3, -10 | A- | Late-board mover turned into one of the best final placement results. |
| Alison Lee | T5, -7 | B+ | Good live-board value. Finished better than most of the middle chase group. |
| Allisen Corpuz | T5, -7 | B+ | Useful watch-range return with a top-five finish. |

| Nelly Korda | T8, -6 | B | The anchor call did not win, but still returned a top-10 finish. |
| A Lim Kim | T8, -6 | B | Good early/live position and a final top-10, but not a podium finish. |
| Jeeno Thitikul | T8, -6 | B | Partial hit. Finished inside the top 10 after staying in the watch lane. |

| Gaby Lopez | T12, -5 | B- | Rebound/watch value was modest but still useful on the lower board. |
| Nasa Hataoka | Did not hold final top-screen position | C | Good live position at halfway, but the call did not carry through to the final board. |
| Dong Eun Lee | Did not hold final top-screen position | C | Steady early live-board mention, but not enough final placement value. |
| Patty Tavatanakit / Maja Stark / Ayaka Furue / Jenny Shin | Watch lane did not become a final top-board result | C- | Reasonable watch names, but not final fantasy winners for the page. |
| Hannah Green caddie hunch | Did not deliver final-board value | D | Main miss from the page. The hunch did not convert. |
Best CaddyBytes Calls From the Week
Best Overall Call: Hae Ran Ryu
Ryu winning the championship makes her the clear best call on the page. The final result gives CaddyBytes the major winner in the main fantasy conversation.
Best Live Adjustment: Ina Yoon
Yoon was moved to the top of the live board after 36 holes and still finished second. That is exactly what a live fantasy update should catch.
Best Chase Result: Brooke Henderson
Henderson stayed in the title chase and finished tied third. That gives the page a strong podium return from the main weekend chase group.
Best Late Mover: Dewi Weber
Weber became a strong late-board story and finished tied third. That turned into one of the better final fantasy placement results.
Value Plays, Sleepers & Watch Names: Final Review
The value section was not perfect, but it produced enough useful returns. The strongest value came from names that turned into real final-board placement, not just early-week interest.
Alison Lee
Finished tied fifth and becomes one of the better final value results from the live board.
Allisen Corpuz
Finished tied fifth and gave the watch range a strong final placement return.
Auston Kim
Finished tied fifth and helped the final board beyond the winner and podium names.
Karis Davidson / Gaby Lopez
Both finished in the top-15 range. Useful lower-board returns, but not high enough to grade as major hits.
Misses and Partial Misses From the Final Board
The main miss was the hunch lane. Some live-board names were useful for a day or two but did not close high enough to count as strong final fantasy results.
Hannah Green Hunch Miss
The original hunch did not become a final-board result. That is the cleanest miss from the page.
Hataoka Did Not Hold
Hataoka became a strong live-board name at halfway, but the final result did not hold high enough to grade as a strong hit.
Watch Names Stayed Watch Names
Patty Tavatanakit, Maja Stark, Ayaka Furue, and Jenny Shin were reasonable watch lanes, but they did not become final top-board payoffs.
Elite Anchor Was Only Partial
Korda finished top 10, so the call was not wrong, but it did not become a title or podium result.
🎒 CaddyBytes Caddie Hunch Final Review
The original Hannah Green hunch did not deliver a final-board result, so that lane gets marked as a miss. It was a reasonable pre-tournament angle, but the final scoreboard did not support it.
The weekend hunch shift toward Nelly Korda was better, but still only a partial hit. Korda finished inside the top 10, which gives the update some value, but she did not climb high enough to become one of the week’s biggest fantasy returns.
Final hunch grade: C+. The original hunch missed, the live hunch partially recovered with a top-10 finish, and the better page result came from the main board rather than the hunch lane.
