A week after Aussies flooded the top of the LPGA leaderboard, nine will tee it up at the third women’s major of 2025, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
A championship celebrating 70 years this year has never before been played in the state of Texas, the Fields Ranch East course at the PGA of America’s Frisco headquarters to welcome a field boasting all of the top 100 players on the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking.
There are also 12 former champions in the field, including Australian Hannah Green who stunned the world when she went wire-to-wire at Hazeltine National in 2019.
Led by 36-hole co-leader Karis Davidson, there were six Aussies inside the top 11 at the halfway point of last week’s Meijer LPGA Classic, form they will each be hoping to take with them to the Lone Star State.
