It’s that time of the year again – the major championship week on the LPGA. With the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship just around the corner, the excitement and anticipation among players and fans alike is at an all-time high. The prestigious tournament, to be held at the Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco, promises to be a thrilling event with the world’s best players ready to tee it up.
Among those making a comeback to the field after a brief hiatus are top-ranked players Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko. The two have been dominating the LPGA circuit with their exceptional skills and have been the talk of the town ever since their return to the tour. With the U.S. Women’s Open being their last tournament, the golf world is eagerly waiting to see what they have in store for us at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
Nelly Korda, currently ranked number one in the world, has been on a hot streak this season. With three wins under her belt, including a major at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in 2023, she is definitely a top contender for this year’s title. Her consistent performance and unwavering focus on the course have earned her the respect and admiration of her peers. And with her sights set on adding another major to her already impressive resume, Korda is sure to put up a fierce fight for the title.
But she will not have it easy, as Lydia Ko, the former world number one, is also making a comeback to the tour after a short break. Ko, who has been in top form since the start of the season, has had a remarkable career so far. She has already accumulated $22.5 million in earnings, surpassing the LPGA record held by Annika Sorenstam. Despite facing comparisons to the legendary Sorenstam, Ko has remained humble and focused on her game, silencing all critics with her consistent performance on the course.
However, with the media constantly highlighting the earnings record, Ko has been facing unfair comparisons and pressure. In a recent interview, she expressed her frustration, stating that it was “unfair” to compare her to Sorenstam as they played in different eras. Ko also emphasized that her focus is on winning tournaments and not on breaking records. Her determination and passion for the sport are evident in her game, and she is determined to continue her winning streak at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
The two players have been pushing each other to excel, and their rivalry has added a new level of excitement to the LPGA. But beyond the competition, Korda and Ko share a mutual respect and admiration for each other’s talent and hard work. As they prepare to take on the challenging course at Fields Ranch East, their camaraderie and sportsmanship will be on full display, making for an unforgettable tournament.
Apart from Korda and Ko, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will also see other top players like Jin Young Ko, Inbee Park, and Sei Young Kim vying for the title. With the course set to provide a tough test for all players, the tournament promises to be a nail-biting affair. The winner will not only take home the coveted trophy but also earn a spot in history alongside some of the greatest names in women’s golf.
As we gear up for the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, let us celebrate the return of Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko to the LPGA tour. Their presence in the field adds to the already fierce competition and sets the stage for an unforgettable major championship. So let’s sit back, relax, and enjoy the thrilling action that is about to unfold at Fields Ranch East. May the best player win!
