If there is any major championship that Golf Town athlete Brooke Henderson has found comfort at the most, it’s the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Despite the fact that the Women’s PGA moves around the United States, she’s finished in the top 25 every year save one, and, of course, has the big victory in 2016.

Now she’s hoping to use this major as a springboard of success for the rest of her 2025 campaign.

“I love this event,” Brooke said. “I think, coming into that week, it’s always exciting to see your poster and have those great memories. My head is always hung a little higher going into that week. I just try to go off of that.”

Brooke finished tied for 22nd last year at Sahalee Country Club, the site of her 2016 triumph.

Amy Yang won last year’s KPMG Women’s PGA by three shots over a trio of golfers including a pair of former world No.1s in Jin Young Ko and Lilia Vu. In the process, she became the second-oldest major champion in LPGA history.

Brooke said the event has “always treated” her “super well.” All the way back in 2015 she got a sponsor invite and would go to parlay that into a tie for fifth.

“They are just doing an incredible job of elevating the women’s game,” Brooke said of KPMG and the PGA of America. “Making the purses larger, giving us more TV coverage and media attention, just amazing golf courses we get to play every year.”

This year’s host club will be a special one for the Women’s PGA, as it heads to Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco, the new home of the PGA of America. Designed by Gil Hanse, the East course at PGA Frisco hosted the Senior PGA Championship in 2023 and will also host the men’s PGA in both 2027 and 2034.

“Any time we get to play great golf courses the men have played that does a lot for the women’s game and it makes all of us girls on Tour very excited as well. It’s something we’re all looking forward to,” Brooke said.

This will be the second major championship that the LPGA Tour will have contested in Texas (with the Chevron Championship taking place just outside of Houston). Brooke said the key for her will be navigating the June heat in Texas, and she said reading the greens – they have to use a lot of grain in Texas – is going to be important, too.

Brooke, by her own admission, has said this year hasn’t been her greatest. But she’s had a handful of good rounds so far and knows it’s just a matter of stringing more good rounds together to snatch a great result.

“I feel like I’ve said we’re trending in the right direction for a long time, but I really believe that. I feel like a lot of things are going really well. Just not everything has clicked together at the same time yet. That’s golf,” Brooke said. “So, just trying to figure things out every single day and get a little bit better!”

Japan’s Mao Saigo won The Chevron Championship, while Sweden’s Maja Stark won the U.S. Women’s Open – the first two majors of the season.

Savannah Grewal is the other Canadian in the field.
