It's time for the third women's Major of the season as the KPMG Women's PGA Championship takes centre stage at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco.

World No.1, Nelly Korda headlines an incredibly strong field and - despite having not won since The Annika in November 2024 - is the shortest-price golfer to lift her second KPMG Women's PGA Championship and third Major overall.

Her main rival this week, at least according to the bookmakers, is Jeeno Thitikul who will be looking to score her first Major title and record a third victory of the campaign following wins at the Mizuho Americas Open (LPGA Tour) and PIF Saudi Ladies International (LET).

Among the other likely contenders are Ruoning Yin, Haeran Ryu, Minjee Lee and Hye-Jin Choi, with last week's Meijer LPGA Classic champion, Carlota Ciganda among the fancied outsiders.

Below, we've listed all of the odds for the leading players as well as sharing all of the other key information you need to know about the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

KPMG Women's PGA Championship Course Guide: Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco

PGA Frisco is almost certainly the newest Major-level golf course anywhere in the world, having only opened for play in May 2023. However, it is set to assume a large role at Major championships in both women's and men's golf over the coming years.

The site consists of two 18-hole courses designed by Gil Hanse and Beau Welling, with Field Ranch East the site for the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship. It is also the home to the PGA of America.

Field Ranch East - which will also host the 2027 men's PGA Championship - can be stretched out to as much as 7,863 yards but will play as a 6,604-yard par 72 this week.

The course itself is a shot-maker's paradise with small targets in the fairway and green complexes. It meanders through the rolling topography of a natural north Texas landscape with bunkers naturally rough-hewn and therefore blending in with the surrounding prairie grasses.

KPMG Women's PGA Championship Betting Picks

Favorite: Haeran Ryu (+2000)

Ryu is the top Korean female golfer on the planet right now, which tells you all you need to know about how good she is. She let the Chevron Championship slip with a final round 76 so she will surely be very determined to right that wrong.

The three-time LPGA winner went on to win the very next week by a five-stroke margin so I’m hoping she can carry her form into PGA Frisco.

Sleeper: Maja Stark (+12000)

I was astounded to see Stark’s odds so high considering she won the US Women’s Open less than a month ago. The Swede did miss her very next cut but that is completely understandable.

I’d be surprised if she went and won back-to-back Majors but, at these odds, she is worth a punt for a top-five finish.

Rio Takeda takes a shot at the Chevron Championship

Favorite: Rio Takeda (+3500)

The Japanese star claimed victory at the Blue Bay LPGA in March and, since then, has racked up impressive top-10s at the Black Desert Championship, Mizuho Americas Open and US Women's Open.

Takeda ranks 19th in Strokes Gained: Driving, as well as highly in a number of different driving categories. What's more, with Fields Ranch East being a second-shot golf course, the 22-year-old possesses one of the best approaches in the game, ranking second in greens in regulation on the LPGA Tour. Takeda has shown she can challenge at a Major championship, so I expect her to do so once again this week.

Sleeper: Allisen Corpuz (+15000)

Corpuz may have missed three cuts in four starts, but she did produce a T31st at the US Women's Open, so her game is still there and performing on the tougher stages. A former Major winner, the American has a good record in the Women's PGA Championship, finishing T30th, T15th and T19th in her three appearances.

A steady driver of the ball, I've picked Corpuz as she ranks fifth in greens in regulation so, if she can get the putter going on what are not the toughest greens, Corpuz could well turn her recent form around with a strong finish at Fields Ranch East.

Favorite: Ayaka Furue (+3000)

Aside from the Shoprite LPGA Classic, where Furue finished 4th, recent form does not suggest that the Japanese star is likely to do well this week. However, the 25-year-old finished T8th at this event back in 2023 and possesses the kind of game which should translate into a strong week at this course.

Furue is fourth in driving accuracy this year, while she is 15th in GIR and third for most number of birdies made on the LPGA Tour. Basically, when she has a good week, she really flies. Let's hope that can be the case at Fields Ranch East.

Sleeper: Hannah Green (+7500)

Any time you can back a former champion in this category, I always like to go ahead and do it. Green won at Hazeltine in 2019 so knows what it takes to get over the line in this championship.

While her stats don't quite back up her results this year - Green has three top-10s and two more top-20s - the Australian is still 22nd on SG: Putting and seventh in terms of GIR%, so there's no reason why she couldn't crack the top-10 at PGA Frisco.

Mao Saigo holds her ball up to the crowd at the 2025 Chevron Championship

Favorite: Mao Saigo (+3500)

Mao Saigo has been on a fantastic run of form, with five top-10 finishes in eight starts including an impressive win at the Chevron Championship. Saigo was seventh in this event last season, albeit on a different course, but clearly has the ability to contend on a Women's PGA Championship setup.

Back-to-back top-five finishes, as well as strong approach and putting figures, make me think we might be about to see Saigo kick on again in her career.

Sleeper: Nanna Koerstz Madsen (+6500)

Koerstz Madsen impressed me at the Meijer LPGA Classic, suggesting she might have rediscovered some of her early season form just in time. Madsen started the season with four consecutive top-14 finishes, so any movement back to that standard of golf could make this price look much more appealing.

She was T11th at the Women's PGA Championship in 2023, and has also previously had two further top-15 finishes in the event. Madsen also ranked fourth for greens in regulation last week, which will be important here, so there is plenty to like about her chances.
