2024 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship: Round 1 Tee Times & Pairings Explored

June 20th is only a few hours away, and the golf community is about to witness yet another golf major, the 2024 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. For a purse of $10.4 million, which has increased by $1.4 million this year, the female golfers will descend on the greens of the Sahalee Country Club. The wait is over, and the tee times and pairings for the first two rounds have been dropped for you to check out.

Who will play with whom in the 2024 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship?

The third major of the 2024 women’s golf will see its first round kick off at 7 a.m. and operate with a two-tee start. On the first tee, Wendy Ward, Jennifer Song, and Pornanong Phatlum will begin the game. While this year’s Rookie of the Year, Yu Jin Sung, along with Robyn Choi and Minami Katsu, will be getting started at the 10th tee.

After two back-to-back disastrous events, Nelly Korda has not let his spirit die out. She will be teeing off from hole 10. The 10th tee will also see Rose Zhang and Charley Hull, though in different groups. Here’s a detailed list of all the tee timings and pairings for the first round, as per LPGA.com.

Players to look out for in Washington

The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship’s star-studded players’ list asks only one question: who is going to win? Even with the increasing concerns about Nelly Korda’s exhaustion and a streak of bad plays, her fandom is not ready to root for someone else. She did clinch the season’s first major beautifully and has won 6 times so far this season.

Last year, Lilia Vu showed a stellar streak and even bagged two major wins. Hence, her presence on the greens is something one should not miss out on. She did finish at T1 at the Meijer LPGA Classic and is coming to the greens with a winning momentum.

On the other hand, Charley Hull might have lost her golf bag on British Airlines, but her skills and potential in the upcoming event will be closely reviewed by both her fans and her opponents. Another player to look out for this season is Lexi Thompson. As she had announced her retirement after the season, the fierce golfer will surely be at her best to fight for her rank at this event.

Nonetheless, one should not rule out the defending champion, Ruoning Yin who scored 8 under par last year and won with a 3-stroke margin of victory.
