KPMG Women's PGA Championship

🏌️ Hazeltine National Golf Club — Chaska, Minnesota Par 72 • 6,807 Yards • Robert Trent Jones Sr. Design
Hazeltine National Golf Club offers a major-championship test built around length, water, elevated pressure, and demanding approach play. The course has a long history as a championship venue and gives the KPMG Women's PGA Championship a classic Minnesota major setting.
Quick Course Overview
Opened in 1962 and designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., Hazeltine was built with major championships in mind. The 2026 setup is listed by the LPGA at 6,807 yards and par 72, putting premium value on disciplined driving, controlled long approaches, and smart scoring decisions on the par 5s.
Course Type / Conditions
- Tree-lined championship layout with major-event pedigree
- Water hazards and penalty areas that influence driving lines and approach strategy
- Large, demanding greens that reward strong iron play and lag putting
- Potential Minnesota summer weather changes, including wind, humidity, and storm delays
What Matters Most
- Ball striking and tee-to-green control across a major setup
- Approach accuracy into firm or exposed green complexes
- Par-5 scoring without forcing mistakes around hazards
- Major patience when Hazeltine plays long or weather turns difficult
Key Holes / Momentum Stretch
- The par-5 scoring holes can create leaderboard movement when players manage risk correctly.
- Hazeltine's water-lined holes punish loose swings and make conservative targets valuable under major pressure.
- The closing stretch should reward players who keep the ball in position and avoid late double-bogey trouble.
Winning Formula
- Drive it long enough to handle Hazeltine's championship yardage
- Control approaches into major-style green complexes
- Convert par-5 chances while avoiding penalty strokes
- Stay patient through four rounds of major championship scoring pressure

The KPMG Women's PGA Championship Legacy
The KPMG Women's PGA Championship has grown into one of the strongest major showcases in women's golf, pairing the LPGA's best players with PGA of America championship venues and a national spotlight. Its roots trace back to the long-running LPGA Championship, while the KPMG era has elevated purse growth, broadcast profile, and championship-course rotation.
The 2026 edition at Hazeltine National Golf Club brings the championship back to a familiar Minnesota major venue. Hazeltine hosted the 2019 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, won by Hannah Green, and returns as a stage built for demanding ball striking, patient scoring, and late-round pressure.
The event is also a major piece of the women's golf development story. Through the collaboration between the PGA of America, KPMG, and the LPGA, the championship continues to emphasize elite competition, business leadership, visibility for women's sports, and future growth of the game.
