The LPGA Tour this week features the 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship starting on Thursday at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.

My LPGA Tour field ranking for KPMG Women’s PGA Championship looks at the top 10 players in this 156-player field that brings together the best in the world for the third women’s major of the year.

The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship marks the return of the LPGA Tour and the PGA of America to Hazeltine National, home to the 2019 edition of the championship and the 2016 Ryder Cup, among other events.

Minjee Lee won last year at PGA Frisco, doing so in hot, windy and firm conditions. While we may get some of that here this week, it won’t be to that degree. Hannah Green won her first (and, so far, only) major here back then, in somewhat dreary conditions.

Nelly Korda is looking to go 3-for-3 in majors this year, and she’s riding incredibly high at the moment.

Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you’re playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top LPGA Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship rankings.

2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship expert picks and rankings

1. Nelly Korda: She’s won basically everything in sight, or otherwise come in second place.

2. Jeeno Thitikul: Eventually, Thitikul is going to win herself a major championship. This test may be a little long, but she’s had a great season so far.

3. Lottie Woad: Woad has to be brooding after losing last week in Michigan following a 3-foot gank on the final hole of regulation. She’s a winner and learned her lesson.

4. Charley Hull: Hull was great at the US Women’s Open and came close once again to a major title. This setup should work for her.

5. Ruoning Yin: Yin has been fabulous this year, and she continues to shine. She’s on the come to a second major.

6. Hannah Green: The Aussie has cooled off some after her incredible start to the year, but she’s done well in majors and has won here.

7. Miyu Yamashita: There’s a ton of confidence that comes from winning, and Yamashita was the beneficiary of Woad’s final-hole mistake at the Meijer LPGA Classic.

8. Hyojoo Kim: After beating back Nelly Korda in consecutive tournaments, Hyojoo has played a limited schedule, though she did win in Korea before missing the cut at Riviera.

9. Gaby Lopez: Lopez demonstrated to herself at the US Women’s Open that she can truly hang with the world’s best on a big stage.

10. Patty Tavatanakit: Patty T is awfully tough to predict, but this feels like a venue where a bomber like her can be comfortable.
