KPMG Women’s PGA Championship Leading Contenders
Jeeno Thitikul
Jeeno Thitikul arrives as the current frontrunner after a dominant 2024 and strong 2025, winning twice – including the Mizuho Americas Open – and compiling six top‑10s in 10 starts.
She also clinched the CME Group Tour Championship and set a single‑season earnings record in 2024 .
Thitikul’s consistency in making top‑25 in every 2025 event, along with stellar scoring average, makes her a favourite.
Her blend of recent victories and steady play gives her strong credentials for a major breakthrough here.
Nelly Korda
A two‑time major champion and world number one in the women’s world rankings, Nelly Korda has four top‑10s from nine starts in 2025.
She hasn’t finished outside the top 20 since April, including being runner‑up at the US Women’s Open last month.
Despite no win yet in 2025, her ball‑striking and overall stats signal form peaking ahead of this major, she’s second in strokes‑gained total and first off‑tee this season.
Ruoning Yin
The 2023 KPMG champion, Ruoning Yin has major pedigree and regained momentum with strong showings this year with T2 at the Chevron and T4 at the US Women’s Open.
She boasts five LPGA wins since 2022 – including a late‑2024 title – and consistently appears in contention in majors.
Her robust finish and ability to handle big‑stage pressure give her an excellent chance for another major victory. The course is suited to her game and she’s a serious contender at mid‑range odds.
Hae Ran Ryu
Rising fast, Hae Ran Ryu earned the LPGA Rookie of the Year award in 2023 and already has three LPGA wins to her name.
She routinely posts strong results, including top‑10s at majors. At value odds, she blends upside and value, especially given sharp ball‑striking and composure under pressure.
Lydia Ko
With three major titles under her belt, Lydia Ko’s early‑season form suggests resurgence.
She captured the HSBC Women’s World Championship in March and continues to build momentum after Olympic and Hall of Fame recognition.
Ko has 18 top‑10 finishes in majors and her tactical awareness and major‑champion experience make her a credible threat to the more fancied rivals.
