KPMG Women’s PGA Championship 2024: Weather Reports From Sahalee Country Club Explored

The third major of women’s golf is set to kick off at the Sahalee Country Club on Thursday, June 20, and continue till Sunday. Although the stage is undoubtedly set for the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship to witness top golfers duke it out on the course, one crucial aspect remains. Enter the weather conditions at Sammamish, Washington.

The field of 156 golfers, including the likes of Nelly Korda, Lexi Thompson, and others, would surely hope to play out the four days without a hitch so that they can clinch the title as well as the prize money. The question naturally arises: Will the weather also play along or would it act as a hindrance to the major championship?

Is it going to rain during the 2024 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship?

Thursday at Sahalee, as per The Weather Channel reports, will see cloudy skies at 54% humidity, with the temperature reaching as high as 80°F in the day while reaching as low as 52°F at night. There would only be a very small chance of a rain shower (5%) with a lot of mixed sunshine and clouds, along with winds blowing from north to northwest at 5–10 mph.

Friday at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, meanwhile, will see a slightly hotter day with the temperature reaching 81°F in the mornings. Moreover, it would be wise to expect a lot of sunlight alongside a few clouds with light, albeit variable, winds blowing North to West at 6 mph. The chances of rain, at the same time, will be similar to Thursday at 5% while boasting a humidity of 52%.

June 22 will witness a mixture of sunshine and clouds with a 5% chance of precipitation, just like the past two days. Only the temperature will differ slightly with it reaching just 78°F in the mornings and winds blowing from West to South West at 6 mph. Saturday night will, however, see partly cloudy skies with a 49% rainfall and winds reaching 5–10 mph.

The golfers can thus expect a slightly damp and wet surface on the course at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. The probable rains on Saturday night, coupled with the Sunday weather, might prove to be a bit of a hassle for the athletes who would hope to finish the event on June 23.

Does Sunday weather pose a threat at the Women’s PGA Championship?

The finale will be the coldest day out of all four rounds, with the temperature reaching only as high as 65°F in the morning with a 24% chance of rain at Sahalee Country Club. The sky will be mostly covered by clouds, with winds blowing from south to west at 7 mph. The humidity, meanwhile, will also increase as opposed to the other three rounds, at 67%.

If the course does witness rain on the final day, then the tournament will either have to be pushed off to Monday or be called off at 54 holes, just like the LPGA Tour Championship back in 2016. The officials had to call off the season-ending event’s third round due to heavy rains. The play had then resumed on Sunday, with the rest of the field teeing off at 8 a.m. The fans and the players would surely not want such an instance to happen again and would hope to finish the major without any hitch.
