The PGA of America has announced that Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota will host the 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Hazeltine will be hosting its fifth PGA of America championship following the 2002 PGA Championship, 2009 PGA Championship, 2016 Ryder Cup and 2019 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Hazeltine will also host the 2029 Ryder Cup. 

In 2019, Hannah Green captured her first major championship and was just the third player in KPMG Women’s PGA Championship history to win wire-to-wire. Green finished at 9-under for a one-stroke victory and became the third Australian to win the championship.

“The PGA of America is thrilled to return to Hazeltine National Golf Club for the 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship,” said PGA of America President John Lindert, PGA Director of Golf at The Country Club of Lansing. “Hazeltine has proven to be an elite host site that attracts spectators from across the country as well as Canada to our championships. We are excited to bring the best women golfers in the world back to Minnesota.” 

The Championship is staged in a collaboration between the PGA of America, the LPGA and KPMG.

“Providing LPGA Tour athletes more opportunities to compete at prestigious venues like Hazeltine is vital to advancing the women’s game,” said LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan. “When the world’s top female golfers play on renowned courses that fans recognize, it expands our exposure and allows our players to showcase their incredible talent and inspire others within the context of this sport’s rich history and tradition.”

The 2024 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship is being held at Sahalee Country Club in Washington from June 20-23.
