After a spectacular U.S. Women’s Open, we saw Maja Stark clinch her first major. Now, it’s time for the third women’s major of the year, the prestigious KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. This is the first women’s major will happen at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco. Texas will witness the battle of the 156 top players competing for a $12 million purse.
Amy Yang will be arriving in Frisco to defend her title. Nelly Korda is on her way too. Maja Stark will be making her third appearance at the KPMG PGA Championship, looking to turn things around this time. She missed the cut in 2023 and was tied for 60th in 2024. Well, the saying goes, the third time is the charm. Let’s take a look at when these favorites will tee off.
The players will tee off at 7 am from two tees, tee 1 and tee 10. After the first two rounds, only the top 60 and ties will remain. The golfers who begin their rounds from tee 1 will start their second round from tee 10, and vice versa. The groups will remain the same, but the time will be different. Those players who tee off early morning in round 1 will tee off their second round in the afternoon the next day, and vice versa.

Top favorites for the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship
By this time of the year in 2024, Nelly Korda had won six LPGA Tour events, and she also won her second major title, the Chevron Championship. But in 2025, she was not able to display the same powerful performance. Korda has not won any events this year, apart from four top 10 finishes. However, because of her fiery performance last year and consistent performance in 2025, she still ranks as the world No.1, leading in points. Her consistent performance has made her a fan favorite, and she is the top number 1 pick to win this year’s KPMG Championship with +850 odds.
Second in line is Atthaya Jeeno Thitikul with +900 odds, who became the youngest ever professional tournament winner, clinching the 2017 Ladies European Thailand Championship at just 14 years and 4 months. Her first LPGA Tour win happened at the 2022 JTBC Classic, and she also won the 2022 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. She has a total of 5 LPGA Tour wins, 4 LET events, and several others, constituting 18 professional wins. However, Thitikul has not won a major in her name yet, and this year she looks to change that.

The third favorite pick, Ruoning Yin with +1600 odds. She won her maiden major title in the 2023 KPMG Championship, making her the second Chinese woman ever to win a major. She has displayed a very consistent performance in 2025 despite having no wins this season. She has made the cut at all 9 starts this year with three top 10 finishes. She finished T2 and T4 at the Chevron Championship and the U.S Women’s Open, respectively.
