The 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship takes place from June 25‑28 with the year’s third women’s major heading to Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.
Hazeltine hosts the championship for the second time after staging the 2019 edition, and the classical par‑72 major venue is expected to provide a stern all‑round test for a 156‑player field.
The latest betting market is headed by Nelly Korda, Ruoning Yin, Jeeno Thitikul, Haeran Ryu, Hannah Green, Hyo Joo Kim and Miyu Yamashita.
With major‑championship rough, a full 72‑hole test and Hazeltine’s long‑established reputation for demanding precise ball‑striking, patience and control will be essential all week.

Leading 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship Contenders
Nelly Korda
Nelly Korda heads the market as the clear favourite and arrives at Hazeltine as the biggest name in the women’s game.
The world No.1’s long game, towering iron play and ability to separate herself on demanding layouts make her the obvious benchmark for the rest of the field.
If she putts well enough to match her usual tee‑to‑green standards, she will take a lot of beating in Minnesota as Korda chases another major title.
Ruoning Yin
Ruoning Yin sits next in the market and looks one of the most credible alternatives to Korda in this field.
Already a major champion, Yin brings the kind of ball‑striking quality and calm temperament that tends to translate beautifully to a venue like Hazeltine.
Her odds gives her a little extra appeal in this market and if she handles the greens well and avoids the costly mistakes that majors punish so harshly, she has every chance of contending deep into Sunday.
Jeeno Thitikul
Jeeno Thitikul is priced just behind Yin in your market and remains one of the most complete all‑round players in the sport.
Her ability to control trajectory, manage a golf course patiently and keep big numbers off the card makes her a very natural fit for major championship golf.
Thitikul has often been shorter than this in big events, and she looks a more appealing price than usual for a player of her calibre.
If she finds enough birdies on Hazeltine’s par‑5s and longer par‑4s, she should be firmly in the mix.
Hae Ran Ryu
Hae Ran Ryu continues to command plenty of respect near the top of major markets and sits on the same line as several other leading contenders.
Her rise has been driven by a superb tee‑to‑green profile and a growing comfort level in the strongest fields, both of which matter greatly at a venue like Hazeltine.
Ryu’s game is well suited to a test that rewards disciplined long‑iron play and consistency over four rounds.
She looks a very solid option for those seeking a contender just below the shortest prices.
Hannah Green
Hannah Green returns to the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship venue where she won this title in 2019, giving her a compelling course‑history angle this week.
That past success at Hazeltine, combined with her proven major pedigree, makes her one of the more interesting names in the market.
Green’s tidy all‑round game and ability to stay composed in difficult conditions should serve her well on a course that does not allow many cheap birdies.
If she recreates some of the comfort she showed here seven years ago, she could easily outperform this number.
Hyo Joo Kim
Hyo Joo Kim is another player priced attractively and remains one of the most reliable technicians in women’s golf.
Her control from tee to green and ability to limit errors make her a very logical fit for a major venue that tends to reward precision over aggression.
Kim has the temperament and quality to stay patient when scoring gets difficult, which is often half the battle in championships like this.
If she finds a good rhythm on the greens, she has every chance of being a serious factor late in the week.
Miyu Yamashita
Miyu Yamashita completes the leading group in your market and continues to rise into the top tier of LPGA contenders – particularly after a playoff win in last week’s Meijer Classic.
Her strengths in accuracy, discipline and shot control make her a very interesting candidate on a major course where simply staying in position can be a huge advantage.
Yamashita may not carry the same headline profile as Korda, but her game looks very well suited to the sort of examination Hazeltine is expected to provide.
She looks one of the more appealing each‑way style options among the front group of favourites.
