The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will have its biggest prize fund ever, $12 million. The winner will take home $1.8 million. KPMG started supporting the Women’s PGA Championship back in 2015 and has now extended its contract until 2028. The sponsor is bringing in great tech this year, and that is a new AI-powered upgrade to its Performance Insights program that is giving players next-level data and analytics to step up their game like never before. With $12 million on the line, fans can’t help but think about the tournament’s format.

As the action kicks off at Fields Ranch East, the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship sticks to tradition with a 72-hole stroke play format. And yes, there is a cut. After 36 holes, the field will be trimmed down, adding pressure right from the start. It’s a stacked field this year; literally all of the top 100 players in the Race to CME Globe standings are teeing it up at Fields Ranch East.

In total, there will be 155 players teeing up. That means we’ve got the best of the best in women’s golf going head-to-head, making this one of the toughest and most exciting lineups of the season. And we cannot forget defending champion Ruoning Yin (May Yin), who will also be looking to make a statement as she returns to protect her title. Top seeds like Nelly Korda, and Lydia Ko will be eyeing redemption as this season has not gone as per the standards they set last year.
